Thanks for signing up to be part of our co-work group. Many of us have put the “pro” in procrastination and working alongside others—even remotely helps.
Meeting Times and Link
We meet every Thursday for a two hour session, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm Eastern time. Our Zoom Room link is:

You will also be put on a meeting notification system from my Google calendar. The notifications have the Zoom link in them.
How The Sessions Work
You’ll be asked at the start of each session what you are going to work on. Then we mute our mics and get down to it. Some people will turn off their cameras, especially if they are getting up and down frequently or grabbing lunch as they work. That’s okay. As long as you’re working, it’s all good. If you’re late, just mute your mic, put what you’re working on in the chat, and get to it.
We meet again at five to eight minutes before the end to quickly ask what you accomplished. Some days you are on it; some days you’re not. And that’s okay. We all fall down rabbit holes from time to time. Having what you want to do prepped and ready to go helps keep you on track. There’s nothing like the peer pressure of a co-work group to motivate you. If you have a question for the group, want feedback or advice, most of us will hang around for a few minutes to chat and help each other.
Block Out This Time
You will be amazed at what you can accomplish in two hours. I recommend that you turn off your phone and all social media/email notifications. It can take up to 23 minutes to get back on task once you’ve been distracted. If you ever wonder where the time went, it was probably spent getting back into focus. Two hours of focused work results in measurable progress.
Treat this time block the same way you would treat an important business appointment with someone who is key to making your business successful—because it is. (And yes, you would be that important person.)
The time set aside enables us to fully concentrate on the task at hand. It allows us to work on special projects on a consistent basis.
Quick Reminder
As a reminder, you are on a recurring payment schedule. You can cancel at any time after the first thirty days. The co-work group is like a gym membership—it’s on you to show up every week. The monthly payment is nominal, but it acts as an incentive to get people to show up. No one likes wasting money on something they don’t use. So please, show up! We love to see your face! (And yes, there will be times when you just can’t make it or are going to be late. That’s okay, too.)
Looking forward to seeing you in the co-work group on Thursday!
