Friendly Beans v63
welcome to friendly beans - sunday side project coworking sessions!
please RSVP by accepting the invite if you're planning on coming - this will help us manage logistics!
what's this?
a super warm group of folks keeping each other accountable, working in sessions/pomodoros of 50 minutes of work and 10 mins of break time (it works, trust)
the project you work on can be anything! ex. coding an app, knitting, making beats, painting shoes - as long as its something you want to do and not your main "thing" (that means no school work if you're a student, no job work if you're employed)
at the end, we'll have 2 minute demos for people to talk about what they worked on — it's opt in so no pressure!
When/Where:
245 Main St, Cambridge, MA (CIC)
Come between 11:50AM-12:00PM, hosts will be there earlier; please come by 12:10 PM at the latest, we ALWAYS hard start at 12:15 PM
If you come late past this time, you may have to wait downstairs for extended periods
Here's what's on the agenda:
12:00 PM - 12:15 PM - Beginning ritual
12:15 PM - 2:15 PM - Pomodoro based deep work
2:15 PM - 3:00 PM - Demos + closing ritual
Who's it for?
people willing to work on anything other than their main "thing" (that means no school work if you're a student, no job work if you're employed). we typically have around 15-25 people show up on any given week
Why:
we've been procrastinating too much on our side projects even though we have so much fun doing them - feels like we're not alone in this and want to keep others accountable for working on what they're passionate about
we've met a ton of really fun friends by making things we care about—and want to find other caring tinkerers!
Rules/guidelines on how to act:
DOOOON'T work on your main thing (school or your job) - if you don't know what to work on, we're sure we can help you find something
act like a host, include people in conversations, talk to people even if they're strangers, offer to help out and clean up, don't network if you're here to network we will be so sad, come to make stuff and find super fun friends :)
bring snacks if ur feeling kind!
