It's time for a listener feedback - not questions - episode!
In a previous episode, we took on Gregory's question about having too many next actions. More clarify on higher horizons helped Gregory, as we suggested, but this also led Gregory to write a very thoughtful e-mail on how words matter regarding the Clarify questions:

- What Morten and Lars typically point out regarding the clarify questions
- How the clarify step is now simplified when we introduce people to GTD
..and much more! This is a very nerdy episode and sometimes, we really want to deep-dive into such topics. Thanks again to Gregory and to all of you listening and watching, we hope this was helpful!
