Saving The World By Doing Nothing

Connect the Dots

How do we, as creative people, help create the world we want? Taking economics as a surprising stepping stone, you can connect the dots between essential developments in science, history, sociology, technology, design and culture. During the event, we will explain and work with the ToDo’tList method, how to use it for time management, to get more focus as creative entrepreneurs, and, as an extra incidental, to save the world.

The ToDon’tList Method

The ToDon’tList-method method helps with decision-making. Everything is connected. If you decide not to do something, it influences the string of events. It works like this: we’re always coming up with new ideas, and there are always things we want and need to do. But trying to do all of these things leads to an ever-growing to-do list. Instead of trying to do as much as possible all at once, you could choose to delete a bunch of to-dos and instead focus on what matters. Set boundaries, make choices, do less, but do it better. In the end, by making decisions to do or not to do something, we affect the world positively and/or negatively.
