Meredith Whistler, a fourth-year in natural resource management and vice president of the club, said they now have around 300 members, […]

MUNDO, where students learn about the world by experiencing it

A student-led initiative called MUNDO has built a community for students to learn more about culture, identity and social issues from hands-on experiences, rather than lectures in a classroom.  Founded in 1997, MUNDO stands for Multicultural Understanding through Nontraditional Discovery Opportunities. Julius Mayo, an advisor and assistant director of Academic Initiatives, said the initiative first […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes

For years I did activities with people, usually not as an organiser for one very simple reason. Micro-managers. These are the people that have an opinion, and a schedule, that want to take control of a simple activity. These people take a spontaneous activity and make it a nightmare.

For me the entire joy of going to do a hike, or a Via ferrata, or other things is to decide on a meeting place, and time, and do it. The logistics of getting there and back take time, but once there it’s simple. Follow the signs, do the thing, head home.

Whether it takes three hours or six doesn’t matter, as long as we have enough water.

Many years ago I did a VF with someone that was really scared, and it took two hours for something that could have taken half an hour to fourty minutes. It never bothered me. I was in the moment.

It bothered others. They were not happy that it had taken so long so they headed for home when we finally finished.

For the first time in years I’m organising something. I thought it would be simple and relaxed but it has stopped being that. Now it has become complicated. Route A costs too much but Route B takes too long so we have to prepare plan C.

The model I’m using worked multiple times in the past, with no issues.

For every activity that I have done the logistics are simple. We meet at this point at that time and will do activity A. It’s only when diving that the plan sometimes has to be more elaborate, due to the associated dangers.

## And Finally

What I really pay attention to is the weather. That’s a place where I might say “did you see the forecast”. I will take rain gear in case of rain or hail, and quick drying clothes if I feel they are needed. I usually go with the flow, as a participant.

Now that this blog post is out of the way I can do some more research.

Thanks to a bug report from @johnbrayton I think I've found a bug in iOS.

`Copy` isn't working in a share sheet presented by `ShareLink` if the shared object has a `GroupActivityTransferRepresentation`.

Better brainstorming: (10min) https://jesseddy.com/articles/better-brainstorming
Group brainstorming often produce fewer ideas than individual ones, due to production blocking, social loafing, fear of being judged. To avoid those issues:
- have people come up with the ideas on their own first
- use digital brainstorming tools (miro, figjam)
- structure the session
- try the stepladder technique
- get a great facilitator
