GTD stands for Getting Things Done and was created by David Allen (www.davidco.com). This is a personal productivity/life management system which has gained a good bit of ground in the last five or so years. The basis of the program is to create a system by which to manage the things on your mind so that you can free yourself up to do more creative thinking. It really helps simplify the job of managing project and tasks because it helps you to break things down into next physical actions and place them in contexts (home, work, on the phone, store, etc.)
I think elements of this system can provide a step-up for time management training that we give to FYE students. It also can help with identifying roles and long-term planning.
I've given brief overviews of this before but haven't really developed a good curriculum for it. I'm still looking for the best way to introduce this to students.
