Getting Things Done In One-Tenth the Time

We had a reduced and condensed last-ever version that incorporated all the
learning that has resulted from two years of doing this workshop.

Well, workshop? It was 2 minutes and 35 seconds long. The first time. We did it again for folks who were late: two minutes. And once again, for more latecomers: 35 second. Used one-tenth the time (6 minutes, compared to session length at AONW2016 of 60 minutes) to do the session *three times*, for three groups.

Then, after the season was over, did it three more times when people stopped in the hall and asked: 17 seconds, and 2 minutes 15 seconds.

This is not to brag. This is just to say: we can do enough in less time if we aim for "The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work" instead of everything.

I have 11 pages of notes gained from doing this session for over three years. I have learned enough to make this a 90-minute session.

I haven't. The one-tenth of the time is enough. Sufficient. It works.

Missed the session? Go to

and read the Vin d'Amico post that started it all. It's all there.
