 Each Accountabilibuddies group has different regulars and a different vibe. When deciding an itinerary for Accountabilibuddies, we've found it's best to feel out the group and structure it around what works for the natural flow of that particular group.

+The Hosts should be sure to get into the Zoom room a minute or two early so they have enough time to set up the breakout rooms before the event begins. For this iteration of Accountabilibuddies, having a dedicated Pomodoro breakout room is a must.

 This time is akin to our random chatter before Virtual Coffee announcements. People (read: Meg) are still waking up and getting to their computers. By the first half hour, we usually have a good group online so we get some chit-chat in before settling down.
 
-#### 10:00 – 11:40 AM ET
+#### 10:00–11:40 AM ET
 
 We've decided that 10:00 AM is our "buckle down" time and any chatter after that should be focused on helping each other with the tasks at hand. This period is treated much like the `#co-working-room` atmosphere. We're all mainly concentrated on our various tasks. Someone will break the silence occasionally and we chat for a few minutes, but then we get back into the workflow.
