158+ Mix Structured and Unstructured Time
159+ ------------------------------------
160+
161+ I abhor waste due to scheduling. As a result I typically run a pretty tight
162+ event. This means tracking everyone's work, redirecting people, staying on
163+ task, and breaking up large meandering conversations.
164+
165+ Eventually the attendees rebel, and rightly so. It's also important to build
166+ in some unstructured time for folks to explore on their own. This happens
167+ naturally in the mornings and evenings, but it's also ok to spend an afternoon
168+ on intentionally unstructured efforts.

178+ Feedback
179+ --------
180+
181+ It's good to get feedback from the team so that you can iterate and improve.
182+ I've done this in two ways:
183+
184+ 1 . Send a form afterwards (google forms is simple) with a couple of simple
185+ questions like "What did you like?", "What could improve?", and "Other
186+ suggestions?" with an option to add your name
187+
188+ 2 . Spend ten minutes at the end of the offiste discussing things as a group.
