Dear all, Once again, it is time for a physical Meetup in the GTD Copenhagen Community. We will meet at Danske Regioner, Dampfærgevej 22, 2100 København Ø, where Bente Villumsen will host the meeting. We will meet on Tuesday, 13th of January, at 17.00. The topic for the meeting is **the five GTD steps with a deep dive into the Capture step**. So come and join us if you would like a chance to improve your own GTD system. Our Copenhagen-based GTD Coach, Michael Eltong Gade, will take us through all five steps of GTD before we focus on the Capture step. We hope that the topic will give you the tools to make 2026 a great GTD year. After the presentation, we will discuss our own GTD Systems and focus on the Capture step. You will get ideas to improve the Capture step from Michael and the meeting participants. If time allows, we will discuss tips and tricks for challenges you have with the GTD practice. We look very much forward to seeing you. Best regards, Bente Villumsen, Jens Hynne Petersen, and Michael Eltong Gade

We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people. The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery. The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups. If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time. From 6 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free. From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place. We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

Mangler du nogen at tale (dansk) med? Vi mødes om tirsdagen på en hyggelig café og taler dansk sammen. Det er gratis at deltage, men køb venligst en drink eller snack for at støtte caféen der huser os. Alle er velkomne, også danskere! ;-) Do you want to practice your Danish? We meet on Tuesdays in a 'hyggelig' café and speak Danish together. The event is free but please buy a drink or a snack to support the café that hosts us. Everybody is welcome, also Danes! ;-)

As part of our next Okvil meeting, we will cover several of the questions that came up during our previous session, including choosing a bank, understanding spending habits and exploring useful apps that show all your accounts in one place. 💸 We will also talk more about how tax payments work on investment returns and go through the process of opening an investment account together. 💅🏻 If time allows, we can also touch on how to choose stocks and funds based on your goals and risk level. Don’t forget to RSVP so we know you’re joining. Looking forward to another cosy and informative session together! ✨

Let's get together and see some new and familiar faces again - no agenda, just cocoa and good vibes. See you there!

**Job searching can be confusing, emotionally demanding, and sometimes overwhelming — especially during periods of transition or uncertainty.** This workshop is a supportive, exploratory space for anyone navigating the job-search process and wanting more clarity, confidence, and grounding. Rather than focusing on performance or “having the right answers,” we’ll focus on **understanding where we are**, how uncertainty shows up for us, and how to talk about our experiences in a more compassionate and constructive way. During the workshop, we will: * normalize uncertainty as a natural part of professional transitions * reflect on how recent experiences have affected our confidence and direction * explore what gives us energy and what drains it in our daily and weekly activities * start building language around motivation, values, and professional identity * connect these insights to job searching and interview communication This session is **not about making big life decisions** or figuring everything out. It’s about **noticing patterns, gaining perspective, and feeling less alone in the process**. The workshop is open to: * job-seekers at any stage * people in transition or affected by layoffs * anyone curious about reflecting on their professional direction in a supportive group You’re welcome to attend this workshop on its own, or in combination with the **Mock Interview sessions earlier the same day**. No preparation is needed — curiosity is enough 🌱 ## 🕒 Practical info **Format:** Interactive, reflective, and discussion-based Individual reflection, small group sharing, and guided exercises **Duration:** 1.5 hours **What to bring:** A notebook and something to write with
