Please use 15 minutes (or as much time as needed) for summing up what you worked with between the last session and this one: • Did we succeed in doing what we planned? • What was easy to do and what was difficult? • What did we learn from doing what was planned? • What can we do better next time you work between sessions? Please remember: it is okay if you experienced problems – this is a new way of working, and it takes some exercise and experimenting before it becomes routine.
