"As we approach a new year, could this perhaps help shine a different light on your GTD system?" In this episode, Morten and Lars first touch on their upcoming certification as Trainers in GTD Level 3: Focus & Direction seminars. After this, we talk about the different reflections that might show up as we approach a new year. How might that affect how you look at your different lists? Taking this timeframe into account, reflecting on your time available for your projects, a more thorough Weekly Review will likely help you get a better overview of your work, hopefully make you more clear and present if you have some time off with friends/family, and more refreshed and ready for the new year.

One big project or many sub-projects? In today's episode, we cover two really good questions from our listeners. One relating to bigger projects versus many smaller ones - which is better? Both Morten and Lars agree on the best approach for this and provide several examples to exemplify their recommendation. The other question relates to where you'd want to store your support material - seperate files or in one application? Morten and Lars have differing approaches to this, similar to how they manage reference differently. Thanks a lot to Bill from the US and Matt from Australia for sending in their questions!
