And we mentioned how helpful it is to have the GTD clarifying diagram handy when getting your inboxes to zero. To watch this entire webinar, please visit GTD Connect.

You need to control commitments, projects, and actions in two ways--horizontally and vertically. Horizontal control maintains coherence across all the activities in which you are involved. Vertical control, in contrast, manages thinking, development, and coordination of individual topics and projects. In this webinar recording, Ana Maria Gonzalez talks about the relationship between these two levels of control and how you can leverage them both for your productivity.

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.
