So many of us are trapped in a never-ending to-do list, looking for the next solution to make us more efficient. But often what we\\u2019re left with is feeling inadequate, overwhelmed, burnt out and alone.\\xa0Madeleine Dore\\xa0is a writer and interviewer who explores how we can broaden the definition of a day well spent, through regular life experiments and events to examine how creativity isn\\u2019t just something we do, but how we approach our lives. Madeleine spent five years looking for the secret to productivity, only to find there isn\\u2019t one. Instead, she reveals, we\\u2019re being set up to fail. Her new book, I Didn\\u2019t Do The Thing Today, encourages us to say no to more time management techniques and yes to the joyful messiness and unpredictability of life

\\xa0Dore has been asking creative thinkers how they navigate their days on her popular blog\\xa0Extraordinary Routines\\xa0and podcast\\xa0Routines & Ruts. She regularly conducts life experiments and hosts events to examine how creativity isn\\u2019t just something we do, but how we approach our lives.
