Week Notes – June 10 to June 23 2025
- 🙌 I meant to write these notes three days ago, but I just didn’t have the bandwidth or the energy. I spent a few days in that weird post-travel fog—half-awake, half-dreaming, and fully incapable of coherent thought. After a restorative weekend, I’m finally starting to catch my breath.
- ⛵I attended my very first GTD Summer Camp last week and honestly, I’m still buzzing from the experience. It was one of those rare gatherings where everything just clicked: the people were warm and welcoming, the sun was shining over Denmark, and the sessions left me feeling lit up with inspiration. I’m so grateful to be part of this community!
- 🤗 I met David Allen himself and his wife Kathryn!
- 🤗 And I got to chat with Lars Rothschild Henriksen and Morten Røvik from the Vital Learning podcast!
- 💜 I met friends from the Getting Things Done® Forums in real life! It was so great to connect with them! I will write a separate blog post about the experience.
- 🥐 I became slightly obsessed with those poppy-seed pastries (aka tebirkes), they are dangerously delicious! It was my breakfast treat.
- 🏝️ Once the GTD Summer Camp wrapped up, I stayed in Denmark for a few extra days just being a tourist and embracing some much-needed solo time. I read by the beach listening to the sound of wind and waves, I walked along the shore feeling the breeze, I got on a bike ride to discover the historic Borreby Manor and took my time discovering the charming town of Skælskør. Each day I walked to town for a slow lunch by the harbour and ice cream (lactose free). The weather was simply perfect: warm sun, cool breeze, never above 23°C.
- 😌 Those quiet days were something special. With no one to answer to and nowhere I had to be, I gave myself full permission to move at my own pace. In that stillness, I rediscovered how nourishing it can be to simply be. I forgot about deadlines. For the first time in a long while, I had space to think slowly, to let my mind wander without feeling rushed. It was a gentle, much-needed pause from the noise.
- 📁 While I was there, and with the GTD Summer Camp discussions still on my mind, I reorganized my GTD folder structure on my computer. I had some duplication and too many folders, so that was nice to do. But I had other ideas and projects that I want to tackle next. Higher Horizons, I’m looking at you!
- ✈️ My flight out of Copenhagen was delayed by five hours due to some unexpected maintenance on the aircraft’s exterior. That delay meant I missed my connection, and suddenly I found myself awake for… what, 24 hours straight? (maybe less, but it felt that long …). By the time I made it back to Canada, I was completely jet-lagged and sleep deprived. I only started feeling better today, as I am writing this.
- 🖥️ I got back to work into a new office space! A long-awaited part of the renovations finally wrapped up and now I have space and quiet. I’m still making small tweaks and adjusting to the new layout, but already it’s making a big difference in how I work and focus.
