📚 A Task List for Long-Term Movement Building

Welcome Back! 👋🏼

Progressive organizing is being targeted and threatened to intentionally overwhelm our movements and ability to act against rising fascism. Rather than lean into the overwhelm, we can build healthy practices for how we work and build towards our long-term visions for change. This month's template for 🌺 Flowering Members is a Task List template to revolutionize your project and time management. Avoid burnout and stay a human with our planning tools. Read on for more...

Tools for Long-Term Visions

So many folks I talk to are amazed at how much content I produce for the roots of change agency including our newsletters, podcast, events, plus my coaching work. It's even more surprising when they hear I work and stress less than I did when I was in corporate life!

I practice Slow Productivity, which can sound scary when you're working for progressive change in a world on fire. On this week's private podcast, we discuss:

• Task List Template for long-term planning
• Managing your time across multiple projects
• Achieving short-term and long-term visions
• Learning from my ad agency days
• Decolonizing project management for slow growth
• Building your workflow around your body's rhythms
