• Limiting the time for each answer allows for more frequent checking in with what others are thinking. (This decreases the emphasis on individual reflection and increases the emphasis on what emerges collectively from the group.)
• It might help to do whatever you can to prepare yourself in advance to do some hard work. (Reportedly, some people who have used Synanim say that it was difficult at the time, but the intensity helped them bond with others in their group, and they ultimately liked what they were able to accomplish together.)
• Feel free to take time to connect with yourself during the process, especially if you’re worried that you don’t have enough time! Time spent on self-connection will likely be time well spent.
• It is okay if what you write is rough, when there isn’t time for fancy words. Just notice what seems important, and say what you can.
• See if you can accept how much time is allowed, and be curious about what wants to happen in that amount of time.
• Later in the process, when it is more important to polish the answers, more time will be offered.
• Remember to breathe!
