Episode notes
Treat Forums Like Board Meetings
- Treat recurring peer groups like board meetings and prioritize attendance accordingly.
- If a conflict is unavoidable, proactively reschedule with the whole group rather than cancelling last-minute.
Good Miss vs Bad Miss
- A good miss is urgent and unforeseeable; a bad miss is foreseeable and due to poor planning.
- Foreseeable absences erode the group's continuity and decrease collective trust over time.
Use Two Quick Questions Before Cancelling
- Before cancelling, ask: is this impossible or merely inconvenient, and how angry would I be if someone else did this?
- Use those questions to judge whether to use your one allowed miss or to show up anyway.
