Deep Work for Anarchists: the EBA Re-Launch

Much extreme, very productivity

Aug 25, 2022

I am re-launching Extremists Being Awesome!

Back in March 2022, I started a productivity group for anarchists, voluntaryists, libertarians, and other extremists. We call ourselves "Extremists Being Awesome.” The group started out small, but we have consistently met for productivity sessions for about six months now, and those of us who have participated have found it to be an incredible boost for us. Not only in terms of productivity and goal-achievement, but also for building community, networking, and moral support.

It’s been such a rewarding experience that I want to share it with all of y’all. I feel an expansion is in order. So starting in September, I’ll be re-launching our little productivity group, adding more content and discussion, and inviting more extremists to join in the fun!

Take a look at the video below to find out what this awesome little productivity group can do for you, then read on to get all the re-launch details.

What’s changing?

I’m not changing the core format of the productivity sessions, because it works. We’ll still be holding 2-hour sessions on Zoom every weekday morning (Monday through Friday, 10 am to 12 pm EST.) These sessions will still be devoted mostly to deep work sprints, with short social breaks in between.

BUT! In order to accommodate a more diverse range of work schedules and time zones, I will be adding an evening productivity session three days a week. And, one weekend each month, we will have a longer session so that those of you who are too busy with day jobs to join during the week can still benefit.

Keep an eye on your inbox for the official September schedule, coming out next week.

In addition to expanding the number of productivity sessions, I will also be adding a lot more content to the Extremists Being Awesome section of this publication. Each month’s content will be centered around an inner growth theme, and will include essays as well as video interviews with anarchists and other “extremists” who have unique insight to share on the monthly theme.

Productivity sessions will include brief explorations, or “food for thought” related to the theme of the month, but we will still focus mainly on working towards our creative and entrepreneurial goals and getting shit done.

Interested? Here are the details of EBA membership.

EBA Membership includes:

Consistent, daily progress toward your creative and/or entrepreneurial goals with access to all live productivity sessions (16 + hours per week of deep work and community.)
Extremist networking and community with inclusion in the EBA discussion group on Signal.
Radical self-work with lots of members-only content focused on inner growth for extremists.
All for just $20 per month!

During the month of September, take advantage of free drop-ins and a limited time discount on annual membership:

From September 5 through September 30, 2022, you can drop in on any focus session for free, without joining first. Drop in for one session or as many as you like! Reply to this email or send a note to starrohara (at) protonmail.com for the meeting link.
If you sign up for an annual paid membership before the end of September, you will pay only $198. That’s like getting 2 months for free! You will also be locked in at this price forever, even if I raise the membership rate later on. This deal is available now through September 30 here.
If you want to continue after September 30, a paid membership is $20 per month or $220 per year.

I’m super stoked about this, guys!

I believe in the power of "extremists” to change the world, but only if we work on ourselves, first. That’s why I created this community, so that we can stay focused on what really matters: inner growth and radical responsibility, and we can do it together in a fun and supportive community format. I hope to see many of you drop in to our EBA productivity sessions over the month of September!
