"Are we totally crazy for sharing a GTD system?" This question came from one of our listeners via email and it is a common question for couples practicing GTD - how do we share the system, what works and what doesn't? In this episode, we'll dive into this question as well another listener question on Projects/AOF's/Goals and their priorities.

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!

It's the last episode before our summer break and this is a special one! This episode contains a longer interview recorded for GTD Connect® members. In this episode, you will hear from Getting Things Done® (GTD) author David Allen and three trainers from our global network, to discuss how GTD can help to reduce burnout. While it has been an issue for years, burnout has been rising steeply since early 2020. The World Health Organization now calls burnout an official medical diagnosis. It is a result of chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, and is characterized by three dimensions: - Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion - Increased mental distance from ones job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to ones job - Reduced professional efficacy For this discussion, David is joined by Emily Gregory, Morten Røvik, and William Elliott. Morten shared an infographic on the stress curve, which is available for download for GTD Connect® members.

"This is just for managing stuff at work" is a common thought when first coming across GTD. But the practices are just as applicable for everything else going on in your life, including hobbies and chores! Again inspired by a thread on the GTD Subreddit (link below), Morten and Lars cover how you might use GTD for both work around the house and your hobbies, including - Where they show up in a GTD system - How they become operational on your lists of projects and next actions - How getting them out of your head and into a trusted system can help a relationship ..and much more!
