Out of Hours exists to help us become the people we want to be, and create the things we want to create, before we run out of hours.

Through resources, events, 1-1 coaching, and our podcast (listed in Esquire’s best podcasts) we aim to help you replace the ‘one day I’ll…’ sentences with taking your first steps to follow your own curiosity and trust your own ideas.

To live a more fulfilling life, you don’t need to jump out of a plane or quit your job. You can start to live the life we love, and create what should exist, as side projects, creative experiments or community projects. You can experiment, remove some of the ‘shoulds’ and play again.

I’m Georgia Ritter, and I set up Out of Hours as a project to help people reach their potential - I champion passion projects, creativity and authenticity, and use conversation to help you realise what you love to do, and to share the stories of those who have lived their life as if they are running out of hours.

WORKSHOP & EVENTS

Building on a history of our original weekend events for creative, entrepreneurial people to make space for their side projects, we have done corporate workshops, panel discussions and workshops.

I also speak at events - including General Assembly, D&AD and Leeds Arts University.

the out of hours PODCAST

Listed in Esquire’s Best Podcasts, the Out of Hours podcast documents the early, honest stories of people who started projects on the side, that have since turned into something huge. From creative businesses, non profits and social movements - the show tells the stories of the most interesting people making the most of their hours on this planet.

the out of hours NEWSLETTER

Many of us have new ideas all the time, but we often don’t think it could be us that start those ideas. It is often our own mental hurdles that hold us back from starting and building something that should exist in the world: Do we have enough time outside work? Will we look stupid? What if this all fails?

In our newsletter, we look at the most interesting side project success stories, the psychological research behind good ideas and the mental models required to build something meaningful.
