Participants: Myself, Dena, Carole, Karla, Nancy, Katie, Joanne, Dale, Cindy and Karin (who joined late and is back east caring for her parents and does not have all the projects with her which became an issue with the pandemic)
To provide more motivation we modified what we want to do.
1. Each participant puts $20 in at the beginning of the year (Carole is holding the money). We call this the buy-in.
2.
Make the list of 12 UFO projects, stating what the status of the
project is now and what you want to have accomplished by the end of the
month of working on it (this is similar to MQSC VP UFO challenge).
3. On the first of each month I will determine the number of the project to work on. We started the year by selecting two months so people can work ahead it they choose.
4. On the last day of the month if you have not achieved the stated status (on the list sheet) then you have to pay a $5 penalty to the "kitty".
5.
You can work on any of the 12 UFO projects listed anytime (not just the
specified month) to work ahead or catch-up on your list.
6. At the end of the year if you complete your list your buy-in $20 is returned.
7.
Anyone who does not complete their list has their buy-in added to the
"kitty". The "kitty" money is divided by all those who do complete
their list.
