CC: Why "to-do" lists are not doing much for you with Madeleine Dore

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're left with is feeling inadequate, overwhelmed, burnt out and alone. Madeleine Dore is 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't 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't one. Instead, she reveals, we're being set up to fail. Her new book, I Didn't Do The Thing Today, encourages us to say no to more time management techniques and yes to the joyful messiness and unpredictability of life  Dore has been asking creative thinkers how they navigate their days on her popular blog Extraordinary Routines and podcast Routines & Ruts. She regularly conducts life experiments and hosts events to examine how creativity isn't just something we do, but how we approach our lives.
