Hello!
Playground platform started spontaneously, during the lockdown when I (Ida) met a stranger online, Helery. While creating, I saw how much leaning on someone else who is in the same boat helps. That baby steps make you start. And how playfulness fuels our curiosity, creativity and work that doesn’t even feel like work. Our plans diverged, but I wanted to see more people do what they love and show that we don't need to take ourselves too seriously, to do a seriously great job.
I do not know your story or current situation, but if you want to work on something that matters to you, need help with procrastination and believe that doing it together is more exciting, I welcome you to play. Are you in?

..Ida's story
What do you want to be when you grow up? Who knows🤷. So 10+ years after uni, I’ve lived abroad, developed a career and met colleagues who turned into friends. I was grateful but started to feel stuck. I kept wondering what would I truly enjoy creating. I was overanalyzing and judging myself for feeling privileged to do so. As a consequence, I didn't make any real change.
Then a sequence of events got me to quit my job just before Corona struck. Lockdown brought a different level of uncertainty, but also broke ground for Playground! Now my work gives me the privilege to keep playing out of my comfort zone, meet other curious people and work from a Blue Zone island. What idea do you wish to turn into a reality?

Can I use anti-procrastination program for my remote team?I offer a 5-week accountability program for remote teams. Team-buildings are great, but they are a one-off event. If your coworkers enter Playground, they check-in weekly and play connecting games to build more lasting connections. Program also secures a support system to help them stay on top of a particular project or a development goal. Interested? Book a consultation call.
