Form participants into trios for follow-up (pairs fall apart too easily because it’s too easy to form common knowledge that you’re both tired and would rather cancel; trios are more robust while still being small enough that actual coordination is possible).
Clever idea. How much use/field-testing has this scene? (the “common knowledge you’re both tired” problem is real, curious how well this actually fixes it)
Follow-up trios were already a thing at my workshop in March 2017. We were told to meet weekly for six weeks, and keep meeting after that if we wanted to; we successfully met every week for six weeks! And then never spoke to each other again, despite vague expressions that we should keep meeting.
My mom’s follow-up trio (summer 2019) met weekly for I think more than a year, and still meets occasionally.

Aww. Heartwarming.
I was once in a habits-group that was originally like 6 people, eventually dwindled to three, and then I tapped out. Last I checked the other two people were still going but it’s been a year since I checked in.
Moderate/informal; CFAR switched from pairs to trios at my suggestion and saw that trios were obviously some-amount-of-more-stable and never switched back, but we didn’t track and compare things rigorously.
