**You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t). Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **What this really is** This is a space for people who are: * building something * figuring things out * or simply trying to stay on track **without doing it alone** You don’t need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward. **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. That’s it. And that’s everything. **Why people keep coming back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” **Time and Location** 🕐 **Time:** 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Jaz in the City – Ground Floor long table Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna 💻 **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.

Just structure + presence. **First time joining?** Look for **Vlad** near the ground floor bar. We’ll get you settled 💛 **This space is for you if…** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You work alone and feel stuck * You want structure without pressure * You don’t want to do this alone anymore **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) This is a space you can keep coming back to. **You’re not behind.** **You’re just in the middle.** And you don’t have to go through it alone.

\*\*\*only 10 spots available\*\*\* If you are familiar with high performance, and human potential, you already know that the nervous system is not a peripheral topic. It is the substrate. Focus, creativity, emotional intelligence, the capacity for genuine connection, the quality of leadership, making good decisions under pressure — all of it is downstream of the state your nervous system is operating in at any given moment. Especially expats who have spent years navigating relocation, high stakes, and constantly adapt to new environments, the nervous system carries a specific signature. Research confirms that elevated cortisol, disrupted sleep, degraded executive function appear especially in populations who consider themselves performing well, because the performance continues even as the foundation slowly depletes. The next level of performance does not come from pushing harder. It comes from addressing what is running underneath: the nervous system itself. Regulation is the physiological prerequisite for clear thinking, genuine connection, and sustainable output. When you operate from a regulated baseline, decisions sharpen, leadership deepens, creativity flows, and the driven quality of your ambition stops costing you what it currently costs. At this LibaTea circle, we explore how high achievers can move from chronic high-arousal functioning to a more powerful operating state, where drive and recovery reinforce each other rather than compete. This is a group of ambitious, internationally-minded people engaging seriously with the science and practice of nervous system regulation. **You will explore:** \- Why high achievers and expats carry a specific and measurable nervous system load \- What polyvagal theory and allostatic load research actually mean for how you perform \- What genuine regulation looks like — beyond stress management and temporary relief \- How your nervous system state shapes the quality of every decision\, conversation\, and creative act This circle is for professionals, founders and expats who want to operate with more depth, clarity, and long-term capacity. **Event flow (\~90 minutes):** Arrival & welcome Breath & tea Guided reflection rounds Closing integration **A practical note:** Spots are limited to 10 people. A recommended contribution is 10€ / person.

We host weekly tea circles and monthly masterminds for thoughtful people who take their inner lives as seriously as their outer ones. **Why tea?** Tea rituals have been used for centuries to create presence and slow thinking down enough for something real to emerge. We use that principle to create the conditions for conversations worth having.

Join the online workshop to learn more about the **power of your mind** and **limiting beliefs** that might be **holding you back**. We all carry beliefs that shape how we see the world. Our beliefs often come from past experiences or society, and while they might have protected us and served us in the past, some of these beliefs might be holding us back now—they're called limiting beliefs. In the workshop you will: \- understand what limiting beliefs are \- identify your limiting beliefs \- reframe and transform your limiting beliefs The workshop will be a mix of mini teaching and guided exercises for you. After the workshop you will have a better understanding of (your) limiting beliefs and practical tools you can use to recognise and transform your beliefs. **IMPORTANT:** ️*Thursday \| April 23\, 2026 \| 18:00\-19:00* *Please note that this is an ONLINE event in Zoom.* ***Sign up to receive the Zoom link.*** *The Zoom link is shared with the attendees in the Event's comment section before the event*. *Let's be kind and respectful to each other.* Hope to see you in the call!

Join our monthly “Queer Kegelabend”, which is mostly a pure fun event with a slight sportive touch. No previous experience required. Beginners and all genders most welcome! It is our ambition to welcome a broadly diversified crowd! Your own omfortable footwear might contribute to an enjoyable evening. **Schedule:** 1. 19:20 Get together 2. 19:25 Instructions (including safety), line-up of participants 3. 19:30 Getting started * *Latecomers unfortunately can´t be admitted.* * *Please bring a few EUR 1 coins to keep the coin operated machinery going.* There is no drinks or food service in the basement (Kegelbahn) of Café Weidinger. So feel free to order something on arrival and take it downstairs before we get started. Alternatively bring your own drinks or food. Yes, this is possible! Its chatting, meeting (new) people, catching-up with the ones you might already know from our monthly MeetUps at the HIVE or other events. Communication is key, like always. Let’s enjoy a nice evening together with a modest sportive touch on the side! **Please show respect to the others and arrive on time.** As we need to line-up the players before getting starteted, hence late comers unfortunately can´t be admitted. **What is skittles play (Kegeln)?** Skittles play has a very long tradition in Europe and is the game before the Americans "invented" bowling. So we will play with 9 pins and smaller balls with less weight compared to bowling. **Costs:** To rent the skittle alley is just EUR 8 per hour for the whole group. We will divide costs by the number of participants. So expect a contribution of around *EUR 2-3 for the whole evening*. The number of participants is limited. The machinery of the skittle alley is coin operated and accepts EUR 1 coins only. So please bring along a few EUR 1 coins to keep the machinery going! **Participation Fee:** To help cover the Meetup maintenance fee, we recommend a donation of 1-2 Euros directly to the organizers. **Results:** The results of the evening (Igo is so kind to count the scores and enters theses for each participant in a spreadsheet) are published in the "pictures" area of the MeetUp. Historic results are availble there. **Cafe Weidinger** has not been renovated over the last at least 50 years. The skittles alley dates from 1964. You can feel this "special flair". A bit shaby, but inexpensive fun for a whole evening. It´s almost a museum of a skittles alley. **The difference between bowling and skittles play**: * The bowling lanes are covered with an oil film, the skittles lane is not. * In bowling, the ball is is considerably larger and heavier. * Bowling lanes are slightly curved, our lane is flat. * Bowling balls have three holes, our balls have none, one or two. Most of our balls have two holes. * Nine pins are thrown instead of ten. * In bowling, the pins are set up by so-called pin-setter machines and therefore stand freely in contrast to skittles, where the pins hang from strings. * Our skittles lane is an asphalt lane. * You do not need to rent or bring special shoes llike for bowling. But to play in sneakers or sportive footwear is more comfortable.

**You’re neurodivergent? A parent? In Vienna?** Parenting can be a lot — and even more so when your brain works a little differently. But you don’t have to be alone with this. Don’t miss the upcoming meetup for neurodivergent parents — kids play, adults connect. Gentle space, real talk, no pressure 🌱 📍 Join us in Stadtpark Your host: Jennifer M.S. Granic, a mother of two — 14 and 4-year-old — kids and an educator both freelance and for the Bildungsdirektion Wien. **✨ What to expect:** * A relaxed, peer-led hangout — not a workshop, not a therapy session. * Conversations that ebb and flow naturally, shaped by whoever’s present. * A child-friendly setting that still centers adult connection. * Space to be quiet or chatty, tired or upbeat — all modes welcome. * English-speaking, but language fluency isn’t a requirement. Deutsch reden wir sicher auch. * Bring a blanket and some snacks, and whatever makes you feel comfortable. Let’s make space for each other — and for ourselves. 🌿 ℹ️ **ALL INFO: PLEASE READ THE GROUP DESCRIPTION** ℹ️ See you soon!

Are you ready to mingle and make new friends? A YouTuber visited our event 😃 [[3-minute video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eG1dYro4u8)] **"How does it work?"** We talk in small groups and rotate every \~10 minutes. Tip: for a more fun conversation, introduce yourself not with your job, but with your interests/hobbies... and see what happens ;) **"Can I bring friends?"** Great idea! 😃 **"Can I give you feedback about the event?"** Yes, keep the ideas coming!

**Welcome to the DARE TO SHARE DEEPLY - event: use your true inner core, grow & connect as never before!** **Wherever you’re coming from, whatever you’re carrying — you’re welcome exactly as you are.** **This is for you** if you’re carrying more than you show — and you’re ready to stop pretending otherwise. What I’ve learned from my own journey: the moment you stop judging, hiding yourself, everything shifts. Your private and business relationships. Your confidence. How people see you and show up for you. **The inner world mirrors the outer one — every time.** So I created this space. **No gurus, no fixing, no comparison.** Just real people, real stories — love, loss, scars, the messy and the meaningful. **What to expect:** Come and share your story, or simply listen and observe — whatever feels right for you. Both are equally welcome here. We go deeper than small talk, beyond our differences, to what actually unites us as humans. **This is for you if:** — You feel disconnected from yourself, others or system/society — You’re done with surface-level connection — You want more joy, ease, and honesty in your relationships — You believe, like I do, that we grow through our differences — not despite them. When we learn to love and accept ourselves with genuine kindness, something larger becomes possible. I believe this alignment to our true selves is the foundation for a new kind of community — trauma-aware, deeply reflective, and built on empathy strong enough to carry us into a more united future together. **That future starts here. Person by person. Story by story**. Every way of being here is worth understanding. Not correcting. **Come as you are. Leave more yourself.** I am looking forward to seeing you in person. Any questions? Message me anytime. — Tom
