For 3 sprints:
Hi there, welcome to Caveday! I hope it’s a great first experience. We’ll have 3 sprints each around 45-50 mins, and I will ring a bell when we start and end. The intent is for you to focus on your deep work and not worry about time. We encourage monotasking (i.e. working on one thing at a time), getting your phone/other distractions out of sight, and to start with the hardest task first. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!
[(if applicable) If you haven’t yet, please rename yourself: first name last initial, where you are joining from, what you will be working on for this sprint. (you can rename yourself by clicking the 3 dots on the upper right hand side of your panel)]
