Most people start their day working for someone else. Employees work for their employers, freelancers for their clients, entrepreneurs for their teams, and influencers for their audience on social media. And this is happening even though we live in an era of automation and artificial intelligence that is supposed to free up more time for ourselves. I’m curious whether you start your day by investing the first hours in yourself, or whether you give them to others first and only take what’s left for yourself afterward.

Hi, everyone, let me introduce myself with this post. I'd really love to become non-busy, but it is more of a theoretical dream state than actually desired one. Why? Because I am always excited about new projects, programs, art creations... I won't bother you with a long bio of myself (read a short one at the end of this post). I will quickly share with you about one of my projects of passion: I love hosting group experiences and building communities around them. OR Taking communities and building online group experiences in them. The purpose? When people connect with each other, they drop some of their masks, behave more like themselves, discover like-minded people (something they might struggle doing in real life). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So now I have an invitation for you: Over the last two months I built a new free community that took off about ten days ago. In ten days we moved up rank from #1700 to #700 today. My community has 100% engaged members, and about 100 activities per day, with just 22 members. This is not random. There is theory and experience behind these results - to say the least, all my active communities have been having 84-100% engagement. I built or set up communities on Facebook, Circle, Heartbeat besides Skool. Now I am gathering consultants, creators and business owners who want to create experiences for their community members. I am bringing them together to start a brand new community and demonstrate exactly how I do it, which you could replicate in full or partially for your own projects. I am not going to go through all the details/ features like my proven 3-day workshop, how to build engagement, how to host live experiences in safe spaces for people to feel comfortable to express themselves, etc. I just want to say that this new community is paid - but there is a way for you to be in it for free, and even make money, as a member of it! (And this is something you can learn to do for your paid community, too!). Check the Powerful Group Experiences here:

Once an Associate Professor in Intercultural Communication with a doctorate in linguistics I traded my academic career for the adventure of founding the Relationship Design School where we teach relational literacy and develope relational intelligence. I work with people - individuals, couples and groups - from divers cultures and relational styles who often navigate work, life and love in a second or third language. I apply my professional and lived experience to help them designing conscious relationships that feel good and work well. The Relationship Design School is based on another platform but I just opened a group under this name here and will be testing if Skool can be be a better home for my School. You are welcome to join if you relate to what we do :)

How do you approach your calendars, any hacks? I started using mine again to keep track of things I’ve done. As for plans, I only schedule activities up to 48 hours ahead. Unless it’s something essential like family birthdays, moving to Málaga, concerts, or events I really want to experience.

Thanks for having me here fellow 'living-life-to-the-fullest' members of Nonbusy!🙌 About six years ago I got out of my comfortzone, life in the Netherlands. It resulted in getting to know the version of myself I had always been looking for. From that position, I also learned what really matters to me in life, which is not necessarily the type of stuff they teach at school in order to prepare you for 'your role' in society. Without going into too much detail, the role you have in society is not about everything you are supposed to do, it's about how you decide to be most useful to society. That is, doing and giving back what you are good at, rather than being forced into it living a life based on the dependencies of external rewards, including all the consequences on your overal well-being. I learned how to stop being busy all the time by simply listening to myself, having my own perspective on life, rather than feeling like you have to prove anything, to perform, to show you are worth it. The only person you need to be worthy of is yourself, and I am guessing you already are. Also, after only having been on Skool for a couple of days now, I am starting to understand why it's such a powerful platform. It's the type of communities like Nonbusy that I feel so drawn to because of everything you are all sharing. The topics about purpose, passion, and everything related to our journeys here really matter in life and that's awesome! I am looking forward to get to know everyone here better!🙏 (GIF: Six years ago in India, that's what stepping out of the comfortzone looks like.🥳 (Image: Last year, being nonbusy after my travels, starting with CLUES)
