Martijn Aslander - A Digital Fitness Missionary & Information Capitalist

Building massive events and global networks, GTD without money, publishing and speaking, and never considering it a job.

The breed of people with seemingly inexhaustible optimism and energy always made me jealous. You know, the kind who can take crazy risks and spin a hundred plates while you lose sleep over an unpaid invoice. I know a few such people, and they’re my benchmark—an example of playfully achieving huge things in an almost Forrest Gump way. It’s the way I’d love to live my life. Therefore, I never miss a chance to pick their brains, and today’s pick is Martijn Aslander’s grey matter.

In this episode, you’ll find out how money’s not always the best currency, how you can save ~1k hours a year, and even hear an untold story of the success of GTD (Getting Things Done) by David Allen, a daily productivity driver for many of us.

If you plan to attend the next PKM Summit, you won’t miss him—he’ll greet you at the entrance. If you can’t attend, this episode is the next best way to get to know this prominent Dutch PKM figure.

Happy listening.
