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?

Practical 60-minute session plan

0-8 min: setup and friction removal

Define the exact output for Toronto collaboration and remove one likely distraction before the timer starts.

8-33 min: deep sprint

Commit to one high-friction task. Capture blockers in one line instead of context switching.

33-40 min: reset and diagnose

Take a short break, review what slowed you down, and adjust the next block for your local timing.

40-60 min: finish and recap

Ship one concrete output and write the first action for your next session.

Task menu for a strong first cycle

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.

Failure patterns and concrete fixes

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.

Facilitation script for recurring runs

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.

What a good session looks like
