No particular tips about Hamming Circles proper—I’ve run them a couple times but don’t feel like I grokked how to run them well—but I’ll put out that I’ve had some success with running longer events oriented towards Hamming Problems, shaped more like “here’s 5 hours, broken into 25min pomodoros where you focus on making actual tangible progress towards something that’s stuck, then during 5min breaks check in with a partner about how your focus is going”.
Which on reflection is actually very similar to how the online goal-crafting intensives I’ve been running for years are structured, except with coaches instead of a buddy.
