Eureka! #12 [Productivity and Efficiency Hostages]

September 12 @ 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm
€8

10 tips to be more productive. How to cultivate self-discipline and stay focused. The best app to organize daily tasks. Positive attitude, energy, personal improvement and, above all, success! Productivity is a social imperative, work ethics follow the moral model of the cicada and the ant. But at the same time, personal autonomy and the appreciation of one’s own time become more important than employment or economic growth. Maybe you can do more with less. On the table: four-day week, universal basic income. Automation promises to relieve us of unpleasant jobs. There is also hope that changes in the way societies structure production and consumption constitute a necessary response to the climate emergency. But while we glorify those who are superactive and ultra-productive, will we one day stop being tortured by the furious love for work, to enjoy the lazy freedom of having a book to read, and not do it?

Eureka! – community and exploratory events in the form of a micro-festival that takes place on a Sunday afternoon, at Espaço Porta-Jazz, with performances, workshops and presentations/conversations guided by prominent guests, all under the aegis of a unique theme for each session. It is intended to arouse reflection, debate, collaboration, mutual inspiration, the connection to academia, science, economy, the flourishing of the arts, bringing together participants and the public, in an informal environment, with a place for conviviality, food and drinks.
Suggested donation of €8 (members: €4)
