About this FieldTrip

Join Madeleine Dore, author of I Didn’t Do The Thing Today in a live group confessional where you can have your productivity-guilt quandaries answered.

After five years of searching for the secret to productivity, Madeleine Dore discovered there isn’t one. Instead, we’re being set up to fail.

Together, we’ll explore…

✔️ How our obsession with productivity sets us up to fail

✔️ The productivity guilt spiral, how we fall into it and how to get out of it

✔️ Common blocks and how to reframe stumbles

For anyone who has ever felt the pressure to do more, be more, achieve more, this live advice session will be the balm we need to ease our ‘not-doing-enough’ worry and be the permission slip we all need to find our own way.

Ask a question ahead of time!

To get involved, pose a question on anything from dealing with productivity guilt, procrastination, self-doubt, comparison, defining routine, a rut you’re in, decision making, expectations—wherever you find yourself stumbling in your creative life.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
