David Allen talks about the importance of getting stuff off your mind in this interview with Mike Sullivan of M.O.
Mike: Let me ask you this. How important is it to follow this system exactly as you’ve outlined? I read the book a few years ago. I’ve implemented the system. I’m probably not using it to its fullest. What’s your perspective on that?David: Well, you either want nothing on your mind or you want to keep stuff on your mind. If you want nothing on your mind, you absolutely must rigorously download everything that is potentially meaningful, decide the outcome and action steps embedded in those, and park those in some place you trust you’re going to look at, at the right time.

Any teachers out there who are in grad school that use GTD? How do you use it and how does it help you? thanks
@Marlisa I use an iphone app called Action Lists and I am pretty sure the developer is a teacher who has helped me a lot with my GTD habits. Might try sending him an email http://software.dazeend.org/action_lists/
