Silent coworking, online

What a silent session looks like

1. Hello and task. One sentence each at the start: what you are going to do.
2. Silence. Microphones can stay on or off. The point is that nobody talks; the chat is there if you need it.
3. Two minutes at the end. How it went, in a sentence. Then the session is over.

Why silent

A quiet room with someone else in it is the setting many people look for when they go to a library or a shared office. A call where nobody talks keeps that, without leaving home.

How it works here

1. Pick a time. A slot starts every quarter hour, day and night. Sessions last 25 or 50 minutes.
2. We try to match you. If someone picked the same time and length, we put you on a call together.
3. Say what you are working on. At the start each of you says it out loud, in one sentence. Then you work in silence. There is a chat if you need it.
4. Tell each other how it went. That is what the last two minutes are for. Then the session stays in your calendar and you can go.
