I’ve been dragging my feet to start a book study on James Clear’s awesome “Atomic Habits” book.
It sounds amazing. I haven’t read it (yet).
Working on something with people energizes me.
So, I’m inviting friends I know who are interested in self-improvement, diverse perspectives and seem to be willing to try something new. Yep, that is you!
First meeting: Sunday, March 17.
Length: about 1 hour
Time: 5pm-6pm PDT / 6pm-7pm MDT / 7pm-8pm EDT
My cool friends are spread across the earth, so this will be a hybrid book club- with people in my living room and people visiting on Google Meet.
(Please contact me for the Google Meet video call info)
We may have 5-12 people attending, I’ve thought up an agenda to make sure we create a space for everybody to share if they want.
Here’s the rough agenda for the first week:
2 mins: How will I run this book club? (Focused on celebrating our efforts, giving everyone an opportunity to share and encouraging each other).
Intros: For the first meeting, let’s get to know each other. Name, two hobbies you enjoy, habit you want to establish, and your favorite quote from the chapter.
5 mins: Chapter Summary: We summarize the chapter (see summaries in resources below. If you did not read the chapter, that is fine. We are glad to have you!)
25 mins: Chapter discussion (more time for discussion in future weeks)
10 mins: personal Intentions / decisions for next week.
Optional during the week: send your secret group mate an encouragement
