Imagine a day spent 100% focussed on getting your priorities done with zero distractions. With tunes scientifically designed for concentration, and a facilitator to teach you productivity techniques and to hold you accountable.
Why? We spend a lot of time being busy, but not nearly enough of that time is focussed on completing the most important activities that will have the biggest impact. We tend to focus on the most urgent tasks, but leave the most important but less urgent tasks for another day.
Done is a new event series for getting the shit done that matters most. Those important tasks that we just don’t get to. It’s a chance to remove yourself from the distractions of the office or day-to-day duties to work on a key focus. Done runs on the third Monday of every month to keep you in check towards achieving your goals.
How it works:
We provide a beautiful workspace, music for concentration, and a facilitator to hold you accountable.
Each participant brings their own “To Do” list for the day and works through them in a series of sprints. Perhaps for you it’s building a new prototype or website, starting a new marketing campaign, booking yourself in to speak at events or on podcasts, designing new sales collateral, completing a grant application, or hitting a sales target.
As well as work sprints, we will use the power of the group to have short sessions for some brainstorming and co-creation for anyone that would like some fresh perspectives, new ideas, and new connections.
