David Allen interviews a modern-day Renaissance man

[John Forrister]

Hi GTD Connect members,

In this new interview, David talks with modern-day Renaissance man and avid GTDer Ove-Kenneth Nilsen. The interview is relatively short, just 13 minutes, but it's full of interesting insights into the life of a guy who balances family, several professions, and time to relax. David asks Ove-Kenneth about his creative journey, and how GTD has shaped his approach to work and life. In the video of this interview, don't miss what happens at 5:50.

This was an absolutely fascinating positive interview. Comments regarding the problem of just working harder to the point of self destruction were vivid and so true. A great interview!

Hi Julie,

Glad you liked it! Interesting that Ove-Kenneth's comments resonate with you, since you work in such different professions. That leads me to think that many of us can relate to working harder, before fully integrating GTD, even though working harder gets poorer results in the long run.

For those of you who are newer to GTD Connect, Julie is a veteran GTDer who runs a large OB/GYN clinic and practice. You can hear much more of her compelling story here:
