I have been thinking about this for a while, this fetish that people have about being busy, appearing busy, keeping busy etc an all that flows from maintaining that attitude towards your life, and the motivations for adopting that mindset.

sounds like there are still spaces! join in?
anyhow i'll report back (if i tune in on Friday)

What: Overcoming the ‘tyranny of busyness’ in our movements and organisations
When: Friday 24 June 2022, 11-12.30pm UTC (12-1.30pm BST/UK time)
Where: On Zoom - register for your spot here.
How much? Free!
What is the workshop all about?
Rushing from one thing to the next. Never getting to the end of a to-do list. Missing deadlines. No time to think.
There. Are. Always. More. Things.To. Do.
What is the impact of this constant state of ‘busyness’ on us as individuals, on our teams and within our movements - and what can we do about it?
This workshop will explore how a coaching approach can help us to focus on what is important, carve out the space to deliberate, make better decisions and treat ourselves and each other with more care. We’ll combine theory and practice and you'll leave the workshop with some practical suggestions that you can start using straight away.
Register for your spot here.
