Check-in Method

mrosek91 · September 2020

In my last group we had check-ins based on week, rather than ticker change. Since symptoms can be very different, especially at the beginning and end, it gave people a chance to check-in with people who were in the same place as them. Also, it was 4 check-ins instead of 7, so it was a little less clutter. So for example we could do May 1-8, May 9-15, May 16-22, and May 23-31, and they could all go up on Sunday.
But I do understand the appeal of the ticker-change, so I thought I would start a poll, see what other people prefer.

ETA this is supposed to be a poll, but apparently those are broken right now, so just comment below if you prefer weekly check-ins, or a ticker change.

I personally prefer the weekly format. I feel like then everyone in the check in has appointments at a similar time and what not.

I agree! That sounds good to me!

I like the ticker method.

grogu · September 2020

I like the weekly idea. Especially now since I don't know my actual eed 🙃

Im fine with either. Since I havent had my first appointment I'm just celebrating every Tuesday but as we head into the 8-10 weeks range, I can see how the due date-based check in gets easier to manage.

I'll come back and add that while I like the ticker method and it gets my vote, I'm also fine with the other way.

Either is fine by me. I do enjoy less clutter lol.

I think I I like the 4 weekly threads better, but I was open to do the ticker method if that's what it's gonna be!

But I do enjoy less clutter as well, and I feel there would be less chances to skip one. (I don't think there was a Ticker change yesterday) Plus the girls in your group and you usually have your appointments around the same time, have similar symptoms etc.

I like the ticker change, just because it's what we did in my last BMB. I'm ok with whatever the board decides though

I think I lean toward the weekly set up proposed, but either way, glad to have the community

I like the weekly format for two reasons:

1. Because there are fewer people, you get to know them better. It’s like having your own little group.
2. Because your due dates are closer, you can commiserate together about more things.

I like the weekly format, I’ve never understood why the ticker change was a thing 😂

audmomout · September 2020

I love the idea of a weekly format! Great suggestion.

sparebitofparchment · September 2020

I vote weekly format 😊

spartan4life · September 2020

I vote weekly format too 😁

I also like the idea of a weekly format.

voting for weekly format

mrosek91 · September 2020

OK, it seems like the weekly method wins, if no one has objections to my proposed weeks, and Sunday, we'll start with that. I'll take week 3 since that will be my group, but am happy to post others if there are no volunteers.
Except this week, this week is Rosh Hashanna, so I will not be using my phone until after sundown. I can post them then, but if anyone wants to get them started earlier they are welcome to.

Jumping in to share a format used in a BMB i previously belonged to if this helps. also based on experience, found Monday starts to always work well because many don't bump on weekends.
