The Smartere podcast is back after a vacation a little longer than planned. We are ready for a new season. In the episode we talk about photography. A hobby we didn't knew we shared when we started the podcast. This is the first of two episodes as ran out of time before we had talked about all the items on our outline. In the first part we talk about the following headlines/questions: - Why is photography a good thing for each of us? - What is our favourite motives? - Where do we find inspiration? - What's the gear? - Inspirational videos or papers? The intro to this episode was recorded after our vacation, but major part of the episode was recorded just before we started our vacation. As a special "magnificent" treat in the outtakes after the episode, you can hear Jens have a Benedict Cumberbatch Penguins moment. A link to Benedict Cumberbatch Penguins moment is here. The images we walk about in this episode can be found on the website.

We discuss what have happened since our last recording. A lot of small and big things had been a test in our Stoic journey and showed what is in and out of our control. We also discuss nerdy stuff like Garmin and Apple watches.  We have big plans for walks in nature/hikes this summer. Smartere.tech really goes outdoor this summer.

Vi har længe ville lave et interview med Patrick Bay Damsted. Han er en erfaren mediemand og var en af de første til at komme med feedback til vores podcast. Det er den blevet meget bedre af og Patrick har fået sendt os i en god retning. Men allerførst skal vi høre, hvad der er sket siden sidst. Michael og Jens har været på GTD Summer Camp og Martin på gåtur med hunden. Vi fortæller også om de seneste ændringer i vores systemer og hvad der er indkøbt af udstyr siden sidst. Efter en lille omgang siden sidst, så taler vi med Patrick. Vi hører om Patricks rejse gennem medieverdenen og får gode råd med på vejen om, hvor Patrick forventer at branchen bevæger sig hen. Patrick giver også hans bud på fremtiden for podcast og lyd. Han fortæller også om sit YouTube univers, sin kreative proces og hvordan han fortæller historier. Vi kom ind på produktivitet og kreativitet i samtalen med Patrick. En af de spændende dele var samtalen om, hvordan det for Patrick er nødvendigt at gå og arbejde med ideer. For Patrick skal nogle ideer blive hængende i hovedet og genere, indtil de er forløste. Vi hører også de fynske knallerter give deres bidrag til lydkulissen i podcasten.

In this episode we take a tour of the desks and what's on them. These are our workspaces, where we spend so much time every day. The are also very different, and it shows what we value and feel comfortable working with. Jens is sitting on a chair almost as old as Martin and certainly out of warranty :) Martin's man cave holds a lot of stuff, which Michael point's out. There is also a short introduction of the long tail of what happened when Michael ordered his future monitor at Apple and the arguments he made up for him self, in order to convince him self why he should spend way too much money on a monitor. And keyboards...

If you could ask David Allen anything about GTD for an hour, what would you ask him? We were up for the challenge and tried to find topics and questions, that David don't usually gets, so no explanation of the five steps of GTD.  As usual we start the episode by talking about what happened since last time we recorded an episodes. What are the big and small tech projects that we are working on. We started the conversation with David asking about the about the origin of GTD and how the five steps and the six horizons of focus came to life. And thankfully David delivered as usual and gave us a great GTD history overview. We did cover other topics like GTD communities, the two GTD Summits and GTD used in different cultures and by different kinds of people.  Throughout the interview David gave us new insights on some of the subtle parts of GTD and told some of the GTD stories that we never or very seldom have heard. Thank you again David for joining our podcast. - You can find more about Getting Things Done at https://gettingthingsdone.com/ - You can follow David at Twitter (@gtdguy) and at Instagram (@dallen45) - You can also follow our podcast on Twitter @smartere.tech

I dag skal vi have en snak med Anders Høeg Nissen, som har været en af de faste og kendt stemme for både Michael og Jens, når det har drejet sig om computere og teknik i radio og podcast. Det er derfor en stor glæde at have Anders med i dette podcast afsnit. Det er blevet en lang podcast og hvis Anders' stemme lyder lidt slidt til sidst, så var det også hans podcast nummer 4 den dag. Når vi har en så dygtig og rutineret radio- og podcastvært som Anders med i episoden, så benytter vi lejligheden til at tale om podcast som medie og hvad fremtiden indenfor podcastverdenen bringer. Vi tager også et kik på produktivitetsværktøjer og hører om Anders' nuværende apps og programmer til hjælpe ham med at være produktiv. Obsidian er et af de produktivitetsværktøjer, som vi dukker ned i. Endelig skal vi også omkring Privacy. Det er jo et emne, som ligger os meget på sinde, så det skal vi jo selvfølgelig også vende med Anders. Glæd dig til en rigtig god episode med Anders. God fornøjelse.
