Join me for 'Might Finish, Might Not'
Pick a project and let's make progress together. No productivity hacks or SMART goals. Instead: a pact, reflection, tiny experiments, and group support.
Do you have a project for the summer? A paper to finish? A pantry you’ve been wanting to re-organize? An art project that feels… stuck? Toys to declutter? A community event to organize? An assignment to write?
Join me for a curious, experimental, low-pressure 4-week support container to make progress. We start next Monday!
All you need to do right now is make sure you’re subscribed to this newsletter:
I’ve had a task on my to-do list for ages: To finish writing one of my assignments for my coaching qualification. It’s doable and values aligned; and it’s also not the most shiny thing. But I want it done. So, in true ADHD fashion, I created a whole system to make it easier for me to get (and stay) engaged in it—and it worked! I haven’t finished it yet, but did make progress.
The key: I intentionally designed it to not be a productivity sprint.
The goal for me was not to finish the thing (though it would have been nice; not gonna lie), but to be engaged in it—with agency and self-compassion.
So, I created a curious, experimental, low-pressure 4-week support container to see what might happen when I stay lightly connected to something that matters—without disappearing (fully) into avoidance or forcing myself to do the thing.
Now that it’s been tried and tested (including by a couple of beta testers), I am inviting you along.
tiny experiments
I was inspired by the book tiny experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff and we’ll be using some of the concepts explained in the book. You don't need the book, but if you want to dive deeper, you might find it helpful.
Is this Productivity Sprint? No.
Instead of SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound) goals → we create tiny experiments.
Instead of ambitious time blocks → we take small steps.
Instead of pushing through when it gets hard → we check in.
Instead of moving on to the next thing → we celebrate small wins with friends.
Another Self-Guided Course you won’t finish anyway? Also no.
One of my takeaways was that doing it together is a key factor. So I’m hoping many of you will join. You will receive:
→ A video every Sunday evening / Monday morning (depending on your timezone) with prompts for the week to define your tiny experiment.
→ Access to a WhatsApp group where we’ll share wins and support each other during the week. Join now.
→ Reflection questions via email every Friday to look back at the week.
→ A printable workbook with reflection questions.
→ Access to Time to Think for 1-1 support if things get hard.
What to Expect Each Week
Week 1: Clarity + Set Up: Define success, choose your check-in style, identify blockers, set a pact for week 2, gather information. Optional: take action (if it feels right).
Week 2: Getting Started + Support + Tweaks: Get to work on your tiny experiment and notice: What’s helping? What’s not? Adjust accordingly + get support.
Week 3: Doubt + Recommit: Will there be self doubt? Probably. We will normalize the slump and reconnect to your intention. Honestly? Or quit /take a break if that feels aligned.
Week 4: Final Push + Reflection + Celebration: Get shit done (if you want to), reflect, and celebrate showing up.

Reminders
You don’t need to do this “right”
You don’t owe anyone productivity
You can change your mind
You might not want to do it halfway through—and that’s okay
Even if you don’t get “the thing” done, you will learn something about what does and doesn’t work for you—that counts as progress!
One last thing
There’s nothing you need to do right now. I designed week 1 (next week) to get clear on what you want to do and how you want to do it instead of jumping straight into action. We’ll take time to set ourselves up for success.
For me, last round, that meant
tidying the house (visual clutter is distracting for me)
making sure I had food for easy lunches (I often forget to eat), and
scheduling my newsletter ahead of time (to create headspace)
So, be prepared not to do the thing, but to set your space up in a way that works for you.
I’ll see you Monday!
Take care,
Hanna
