Hustle culture tells us that we need to be always on, searching for new and innovative ways to advance our career. Prioritising work over everything else can result in longer to-do lists than we can reasonably tackle, and excess feelings of guilt when we find ourselves unable to relax, or unable to keep up.
After five years of searching for the secret to productivity, Madeleine Dore discovered that there isn’t one. Instead, we’re being set up to fail. In this masterclass, you will explore the five most common productivity stumbling blocks including perfectionism, busyness, and indecision with potential antidotes to help you question and reflect on the layer of judgement we place on a day.
If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, or you feel like you’re falling behind, this masterclass will confront these challenges head on so you can worry less about getting things done, and more about the things that are worth doing. During the class you will also have the opportunity to workshop your problems and seek possible solutions through ‘live confessionals’.
