Productivity Hour (aka Body Doubling)?

[UPDATE: there's a survey out to see if we can find a time for the Productivity Accountability Hour that works for a multiple number of people.

If you're interested in the Productivity Hour, please go indicate your general availability at https://www.when2meet.com/?36132815-O46RO The system as two limitations: it's binary (you're either available or your not); the time zone is EST, so you're going to need to do your own math.]

I enjoy

's Coffee Talks on Friday, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in finding a time to do a shared hour of focused work. When I've done them in the past, they work this way: everyone jumps on a call/meeting and briefly introduces themselves, their project, and what specifically they're hoping to accomplish in the next hour (so rather than "prep for my next session" it might be something like "create 3 forest encounters for my next session"; rather than "work on the TTRPG I'm writing" it might be "edit the section on ranged combat in the TTRPG I'm writing"). At the end of the hour, we all meet up again, talk about whether we achieved our goal or not, and what obstacles came up -- and maybe ask for help in overcoming the challenges if that seems appropriate.

I'm East Coast USA, but would be willing to do this in my afternoon if there were a bunch of folks in Europe who were interested. I also might be in interested in doing it in an evening, but I feel like a lot of us already have evening commitments.

If you're interested, drop a comment below with some general availability preferences.
