đ On your phone and canât click? Click the link in the comments :)
**Get Sh\*t Done** sessions are focused, fun, and structured coworking sprints designed to **beat** **procrastination** and drop you into **productive** **flow**! đŻ
We use goal-sharing, accountability, time-management tools, and a little play that **almost** **guarantees** **that *sh\*t gets done***. đ It's also a great way of meeting intentional people who are working on cool projects.
đ§âđ» **HOW IT WORKS**
Each GSD (Get Sh\*t Done) session is a 6-hour structured coworking sprint, broken down into:
â
Short & sweet intro - Share what youâre working on.
âł 45-52 min deep work sprints - Based on research-backed focus cycles.
â 10 min breaks - Stretch, breathe, chit chat, play
đ„ Lunch break - Because your brain needs fuel.
đĄ Post-sprint reflection - Celebrate wins & wrap up the day.
đŻ **WHAT'S INCLUDED + WHY JOIN**
A regular coworking pass in BA costs around \~$15. You get a desk. Maybe WiFi. Thatâs it.
**With us, you get:**
â A guided, focused (and fun) deep work session (deep work>chit chat)
â Access to a beautiful coworking space
â Coffee & tea to keep you fuelled
â A room full of founders building real things
â Honest exchange, feedback, and support
â Accountability that quietly kicks your ass (in a good way)
â Invite to our private WhatsApp group (attendees only)
đ°ïž **HOW LONG IS IT?**
Please arrive at 10:00 AM sharp! Punctuality is VERY important to us. Out of respect for everyone, we expect everyone to arrive by 10:10 AM - at the LATEST. If you can't be there by that time, please do not RSVP.
đ **WHO IS IT FOR?**
For purpose-driven, heart-minded founders/builders/creatives who are:
đ Building, creating, or dreaming with intention.
đĄ Hungry for connection with curious, genuine, and action-oriented people.
đ Energized to share ideas, swap insights, and support each otherâs journeys.
đ **WHERE IS IT?**
We host our sessions in awesome coworking spaces & cozy cafes in the city. Weâre excited to host this session in the lovely coworking space at **[ACO Coworking](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=9a3fab58edaf9218&sxsrf=ANbL-n6ml7OQ6AXeSdfUgU87JHqcYYidBQ:1773675591691&kgmid=/g/11stb2zrgf&q=ACO+Workspace&shndl=30&source=sh/x/loc/uni/m1/1&kgs=07e6663f95134c02&shem=shrtsdl&utm_source=shrtsdl,sh/x/loc/uni/m1/1)**[,](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=9a3fab58edaf9218&sxsrf=ANbL-n6ml7OQ6AXeSdfUgU87JHqcYYidBQ:1773675591691&kgmid=/g/11stb2zrgf&q=ACO+Workspace&shndl=30&source=sh/x/loc/uni/m1/1&kgs=07e6663f95134c02&shem=shrtsdl&utm_source=shrtsdl,sh/x/loc/uni/m1/1) located about 8 blocks from Plaza Serrano.
**đ HOW TO PREPARE**
âđč The night before, list 3-4 tasks (or 1 really big one) you want to get done.
đč Bring whatever you need for a productive work session.
đč Headphones đ§ recommended for deep focus.
â
**âïž CAN I TAKE CALLS?**
âOnly if they are short 15-20 min calls! They kind of disrupt our flow/structure. If you need to have a call please schedule it after 10:30 AM. If you have more than 1 call it's best to join us another day :)
**đ„ WHAT PEOPLE SAY**
âđ©âđ» "Unlike other coworking meet-ups, this is one that actually works. I thrive with structure and so appreciated the thought that went into planning our day. Whether you're struggling to be productive, wanting to meet new friends, or just wanna explore pretty cafĂ©s with new friends, this is the group for you." - [Meagan](https://www.instagram.com/maegantomelaburke/?utm_source=luma)

ââ
đ§âđ» "This is exactly what Iâve been looking for! I love traveling but also love working in person with people.

Iâll definitely attend again!!" - Giselle
đ©âđ» "Get Shit Done means business! It was so easy to sit down and be the most productive I've been all week, while enjoying fun little breaks with my fellow coworkers of the day! Loved it!" - [Ana](https://www.instagram.com/anasteinberg/?utm_source=luma)
đšđœâđ» "This was incredibly helpful -- fabulous to meet new people, the pressure of the time to accomplish goals I set in advance, and also I would definitely do it again regularly!" - Mike
đ§âđ» "What a great way to make a day productive with intentional people!" - Alex
đ©âđ» "What I love most are the breaks, I can easily spend 5 hours sitting, and also the closure, cos I can easily work until 8pm. So this helps setting healthy boundaries with my work âșïž" - Laura
## đ€ Why It Works (The Science)
âđđœ *Body Doubling:* Working alongside others boosts focus, motivation, and creativity through social pressure and mirror neurons, improving performance by 16-32%.

âđ *Accountability:* Sharing goals with someone and setting appointments raises success rates up to 95%.
âđ *Focused Work:* Optimal work sprints last \~52 minutes, as refocusing after a distraction takes 23+ minutes.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
TBD: Trivia & Happy Hour
We're bringing the community together for a casual happy hour with ServiceNow-themed trivia, food and drinks, and great conversation. Details coming soon - for now, save the date and plan to join us for connection and fun.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machineâs?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
