We had a lively webinar on Projects and Next Actions, including plenty of participation and questions from attendees. We explored the fundamentals of projects and next actions, with several quizzes along the way. The quiz questions ranged from beginner to experienced. We also made time for you to update your lists of projects and next actions based on what you learn. You'll want to pause the recording to spend as much time as you choose reviewing your lists. Because there is detail on naming projects and actions, you may find it helpful to get the Projects and Next Actions Verbs PDF for reference as you watch.

In our most recent Office Hour we talked about how to use a tickler or bring-forward filing system, and the important distinction between incubating an item to later decide if it's actionable, and setting a calendar reminder to handle something actionable on a future date. We also discussed the question of how to get others to do GTD. (Hint: exemplify relaxed productivity.) And we mentioned how helpful it is to have the GTD clarifying diagram handy when getting your inboxes to zero.

Please join Ann and Fedder, two members of the vibrant GTD community in Denmark, as they discuss a yearly GTD event that they call a refuge or retreat. It's an opportunity for a small group to have more inner-directed time for gaining perspective. Fedder and Ann relate how the idea developed, compare and contrast it with the annual Summer Camp, and explain the potential benefits. They even point out that the refuge is part of a well-rounded GTD practice that aligns with Danish philosopher Kierkegaard's adage that, "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
Below the video player image please find the description from Fedder and Ann about the refuge. The description is an excellent complement to their spoken words.

In our most recent Office Hour, we talked about efficient ways to clarify inboxes to zero, on a daily basis and when returning from vacation to a larger number. We mentioned organizing by discussion thread and by sender, as well as traditional ways such as oldest or newest first. We had several points of view on how to encourage colleagues and family members to adopt the GTD best practices. And we had an update from two members in Denmark about their plans for attending an annual weekend get-together with other GTD enthusiasts.
