🧑💻 How it works?
Each GSD (short for Get Sh*t Done) session is 5.5 hours long. We break it up into intro, sprints, breaks, time for lunch, and post-sprint reflection.
We start with a short & sweet intro where everyone shares a bit of their background + the 3 tasks that they want to get finish!
Each sprint is 45-52 minutes long to optimize the brain’s focus capacity, based on research. Between each sprint, we take a 10 to 15-minute break to share progress, top up our coffee, shake our booties, and take some deep breathes. 💨
Taking breaks replenishes attention, motivation, creativity, and productivity!
🕰️ How long is it?
Please arrive between 11 AM and 11:15 AM. We start at exactly 11:15 and go until 4:45 PM. Breaks and time for lunch (50 min) are included in the session!
Punctuality is VERY important to us. Out of respect for everyone, we expect everyone to arrive by 11:15 AM – at the latest. If you can’t be there by that time please join us another day.
🐥 How much is it?
We believe in the power of reciprocity, so we invite you to support Newo Café by purchasing at least one drink ☕️
And if you decide to share something with our wonderful host, it would be amazing!
📝 How to prepare?
The night before, think of 3 tasks (or 1 really big one) you want to get done during the sprint. Bring whatever you need for your usual work day! We also suggest bringing headphones. 
🌆 Where is it?
Newo On.going is an incredibly designed space to stimulate creativity, making it the perfect place for this experience.
☎️ Can i take calls?
We understand the need to take calls yet they kind of disrupt our flow/structure. If you need to have a call please schedule it after 11:30 AM. If you have a bunch of calls scheduled please join us another day.
Why It Works (the Science Behind It)
👭🏽 Body doubling involves working with others to improve focus through social pressure, driven by mirror neurons. Studies show it enhances performance by 16-32% and boosts motivation and creativity.
💪 Implementation intentions involve setting clear plans for goal achievement. Research indicates that people who use implementation intentions are 91% more successful in following through on their goals.
👀 Accountability, especially when shared with someone and backed by specific appointments, significantly increases the likelihood of goal completion, with a success rate of up to 95%.
🚀 Research shows that focused work should be done in stints of around 52 minutes, as it takes more than 23 minutes to regain full focus after a distraction. Avoiding distractions is crucial for productivity.
🎈 Play enhances high-level reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity by promoting the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and dopamine, which improves mood, cognitive performance, and focus.
