VOTING ITEM: Mini-Meetings Mon-Thursday Evenings
BASED ON EVERYONE'S COMMENTS, I PROPOSE:
- A mini-meeting Monday - Thursday at 6:00 p.m., Pacific Time - 30 minutes max. This would allow all of the U.S. and Australia to attend. I am willing to anchor next week.
- I also think (due to interest) someone in London's time zone might anchor a 6:00 p.m. (or something similar) meeting from Monday - Thursday next week. I can't offer this one due to my work hours, which is why I suggest two daily meetings (different time zones) if interest allows and someone is willing to do it.
My observation has been that the chatroom is dead on Friday nights and Saturday nights. We meet on Sundays. Monday thru Thursday I am working and trying to achieve my personal goals. So, that is what would work for ME.
As for format, I PROPOSE that in 2-3 minutes, we repeat the name of the step and tool that we are using for the week. 3 minute shares, more if time allows and interest is there. For me, it's a refocusing tool to launch my evening productivity.
THESE ARE MERELY PROPOSALS. If we get a majority of yeses, I will appear on Monday night, at 6 p.m., and remind everyone in the chatroom that the meeting is starting. I will anchor the next week. Just like the Sunday meeting, we can take turns anchoring. Just like the Sunday meeting, no one's obligated to show up. Just like the Sunday meeting, we can vote on changing things that don't work or fit the 30 minute format.
Please vote! Wishing all well......

Okay...I will be in the chatroom on Monday, at 6 p.m., for a mini-meeting. Let's try it for a week and see what happens. We'll announce it during Sunday's meeting.

re: 6pm Pacific Meetings
i would put these on my calendar and attend when i can. i NEED the daily reinforcement, cuz i have an addictive personality. I'd prefer 5:30pm Pacific. that's 8:30 eastern. But either way i would still put them on my calendar.
I think there should be a "what to do if i'm the only one at the meeting" page. Cuz it can still be useful time, but new people are at a loss. Perhaps saying the prayer, typing certain things into chat that are still useful for just 1 person. Skip the part about cross talk, eg. keep the tool / promise of the month. skip the tradition ( that one is multi-person based ).
Cuz if there was a real good solid "what if i'm alone" then we could do a 6pm pacific and 6pm eastern and that's a lot of meetings, but even if only 1/2 were attended, and half of those were just one person they would still provide a significant benefit.
Maybe we need also a "what if there are only 2 people" page. Cuz that can be awkward.
