💡 Do you have a task, idea or project that you've been thinking about but keep putting off? Tackle it together at our procrastination party!

This 2 hour in-person session is aimed at artists, creatives and cultural workers with a connection to the Forest of Dean. Let's tackle those hard to do tasks together. This event utilises the strategy of 'body doubling'. A productivity strategy where people work together to complete tasks and avoid distractions. It can help with focus and motivation.

Bring yourself, your laptop and the task you want to focus on. Wyldwood Arts will provide the party nibbles, and tea & coffee! Wi-Fi available.

We will spend:
👉1 hour breakout into small groups to share peer support and advice in tackling our specific tasks. Wyldwood Arts will provide some prompts to help start the conversations.
👉1 hour to work individually, breaking that procrastination rut!

We will work around a large table. There is room for break out chats to happen in the communal area of the community centre.
