Done is a new event series for getting the shit done that matters most. Those important tasks that we just don't get to. It's a chance to remove yourself from the distractions of the office or day-to-day duties to work on a key focus.
We spend a lot of time being busy, but not nearly enough of that time is focussed on completing the most important activities that will have the biggest impact. We tend to focus on the most urgent tasks, but leave the most important but less urgent tasks for another day. Many of us hide behind "being busy" while avoiding the true "hard work".

As a facilitator, Aaron has delivered 60+ hackathons around Australia and has delivered hundreds of keynotes, workshops, and panel events to several thousand participants at events around the world.
A facilitator works with the group to hold you accountable. There's music for concentration & speficially chosen food for fuel.
Each participant brings their own "To Do" list for the day and works through them in a series of sprints. Perhaps for you it's building a new prototype or website, starting a new marketing campaign, booking yourself in to speak at events or on podcasts, designing new sales collateral, completing a grant application, or hitting a sales target. Perhaps you want to sort your life admin, or use the day to make big decisions. You can use it however you want.
As well as work sprints, you also have the option to use the power of the group to have short sessions for some brainstorming and co-creation for anyone that would like some fresh perspectives, new ideas, and new connections.
