The Efficient Academic

There is a new online discussion group for productivity in scholarly work. It is called The Efficient Academic. I don't know why, but my impression is that people in the academia is much more disorganized than the "business" people. We try to cover it as a source for creativity, but is it really a legitimate excuse? Is there anything we should learn from the business self-help books (like the excellent GTD)? It is nice to hear others' experiences, solutions and tools.
