		<title>Getting Things Done 10: My Weekly Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The GTD guys say that if you are not doing a weekly review you are doing dong GTD.

		<title>Getting Things Done 7: Next Actions vs Projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has their own idea about the most critical part of GTD and the GTD guys themselves will probably agree that it is the Weekly Review.
