Mind & Motivation: Monday, May 11th at 1 PM ET (Live)
A monthly member chat on the ideas shaping how we think, work, and grow
Dear Insiders,
Mind & Motivation is a new monthly member chat focused on the ideas, research, and conversations shaping personal growth and human behavior. While it’s a Next Big Idea Club event, Author Insider paid and founding members also receive access as a perk of membership (hint, hint).
For our first event, on Monday, May 11th, 1 pm ET, we’ll discuss time management and productivity, two intertwined topics I never seem to tire of learning about. I have spent an absurd amount of time over the years researching productivity hacks and poring over time management books (yes, I am aware of the irony, thank you).
To be clear, this is not a presentation or workshop. It’s an informal chat, a chance for members of both NBIC and Author Insider to exchange ideas, questions, suggestions, experiences, and strategies for managing our time and attention effectively.
There’s nothing you need to read or prepare beforehand. No homework! No cramming! You don’t even have to Google anything or ask some AI bot to get you up to speed.
That said, if you’d like to dip into some recent thinking on productivity before the conversation, here are a few recent Book Bites to check out:
• The Anti-Busy Formula for Getting Things Done and Making Space for Fun
• The 5-Minute Creativity Habit Anyone Can Start
• Don’t Say Yes Unless You Mean It: How to Say No When It Counts
• Why Your Work Calendar Is a Dumpster Fire—and How to Put It Out
• 5 Ways Constraints Make You More Productive and Creative
I hope to see some of you there.
Best,
Panio Gianopoulos
Editorial Director, Author Insider & The Next Big Idea Club
