SUMMARY:Spain Group: Time to Write
DESCRIPTION:Join our Spain Group on Wednesday 21 January from 11am CET/10am Canary Islands & UK for their next online meeting. This meeting will be an opportunity to engage in quiet working time but with the motivational boost (if needed) of putting it in the diary and working alongside others. Work\, of course\, could mean writing\, editing\, translating\, researching or any SoA-connected activity. \nFormat: \n\n11am – Enter the meeting\, set a goal if you wish to\n11.10am – We put cameras and microphones off to focus on working\n12pm – We reconvene\, have a comfort break\, admit any latecomers\n12.10pm – It’s cameras off again to work\n12.50pm – We reconvene to share progress and say cheerio\n\nTwo hours is not compulsory — you can leave the meeting at any time and there is no requirement to speak if you prefer just to work. It’s an effective way to ringfence focused working time and be less isolated in the task. Win-win! \nEveryone is welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\nLocal group meet-ups are free to attend. To join us\, click the Going button below and enter your details in the RSVP form and we’ll send you the Zoom joining details by email. Please contact us with any queries.
