Local facilitation playbook for San Diego

San Diego pages should prioritize clarity, low-friction joins, and structured recap habits.

Where to anchor sessions

Use short accountability loops with explicit next-session commitments.
Anchor around clear norms that work across mixed learner backgrounds.
Publish one shared room playbook so every host follows the same structure.

Scheduling reality

Pre-day block (7:00-8:30 PT): commit one measurable output before the day ramps up.
Mid-cycle block (12:00-2:00 PT): reset focus and close one high-friction task.
Wrap block (6:30-9:00 PT): close loops, capture wins, and set tomorrow's first action.

Host prompts that work

Wrap prompt: What proof of progress can you share now?
Kickoff prompt: One task, one timer, one done definition.
Midpoint prompt: Are room norms still being followed?

Start-here one-hour routine

0-5 min: setup and intent

Open the room, silence distractions, and write one measurable goal for Nyu collaboration.

5-30 min: first focus sprint

Run a shared timer and stay in one task only. Keep chat for blockers, not multitasking.

30-35 min: reset

Take a short break, hydrate, and log progress so your cohort can keep context.

35-60 min: second sprint and recap

Finish one concrete deliverable, share a quick recap, and queue the next block.

High-value tasks to run in this format

Define one concrete output for this session before the timer starts.
Protect one uninterrupted block for the hardest item on your list.
End with a recap note and tomorrow's first action.

Common misses and fast corrections

Launching without explicit collaboration norms

Set one-line norms at kickoff: task clarity, camera optional, recap required.

Letting check-ins turn into long status chatter

Keep check-ins to one blocker and one next move per person.

Using one pace for mixed workloads

Allow parallel sprint goals, but synchronize break and recap timestamps.

Ending without shared accountability

Close with each member posting one shipped output and next start task.

Simple host checklist that improves retention

Kickoff script: define one measurable session outcome.
Midpoint script: confirm focus and remove one distraction.
Wrap script: capture output and set the next start point.

Pair this with facilitation basicsand repeatable schedule design so groups return consistently.

Example session snapshot
