Show up and settle in with your laptop \(or notebook\) and your unfinished project\. 2\. Quick intros: say what you're working on and one goal for the session\. 3\. Phones away\. We work in focused rounds with short breaks to check in\, cheer each other on\, and swap tips\. 4\. Pizza break 🍕 5\. We close by sharing what we got done\! 🎉 COST: Free to join, with a suggested donation of $15 (cash or Venmo at the door) to help keep the space going. Pizza is included! 🍕 HEADS-UP ABOUT THE SPACE: This is a no-frills pop-up. The room is sparse and simple: folding tables and chairs, nothing fancy, and it's a 4-flight walk-up on the 5th floor (no elevator). Bring a charger and headphones if you like. Coffee is welcome during rounds; the pizza break is the time for food. Come meet other doers and leave with real progress! 💪 🌐 More info: https://getshitdone.space

Folks in this Meetup group get **10% off**! Use code: **MEETUP** at checkout. **What's It Like?** Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about? Bring your friends (or come by yourself- most people do!) and spend your Tuesday night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason. We'll be offering 'big talk' conversational prompts on them to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward. There will be drinks for sale! **There is a 1 drink minimum purchase** for this event, so please keep that in mind. **Check-in** for this event will begin around **6:45 pm**. Please do your best to arrive before 7:00 pm so we can begin as close to on time as possible. Skip the Small Talk is dedicated to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone.
