🎙️ INTERVIEW: Rethinking Writing Routines, Ruts & Letting Go of Productivity Guilt w/ Madeleine Dore
​** This is a LIVE interview with author Madeleine Dore about the craft of writing and reality of building a writing career. Attendees will be sent a recording after the interview. **
​How can we expand our idea of what it means to spend our time well? How can we let go of productivity guilt and incorporate more play into our writing?Â
​Madeleine Dore spent years searching for the secret to productivity and discovered — there isn’t one. Her book, I Didn’t Do The Thing Today, is a clarion call to break up with hustle culture and stop tying our worth to our productivity.
​Join us for a conversation with Madeleine Dore as we discuss how to rethink writing ruts, rid ourselves of the pressure to do more, and how we can embrace imperfection in the creative process. Â
​We’ll also discuss:
​Madeleine’s blog, Extraordinary Routines, and her podcast, Routines & RutsÂ
​Madeleine’s writing journey from blogging to non-fiction
​How Madeleine worries less about getting things doneÂ
​Tips on how to avoid comparing ourselves to othersÂ
​Reframing thinking around productivity and experimenting with routines Â
