Yi-Yang spent too much time on crafting a new presentation (~30 hours) and developing an onboarding document (~20 hours). We could probably have been leaner and tested our outreach plans more.
Tzu was committed to too many projects.
We didn’t do enough consistent “low cost” meetups.
I resonate a lot with a lot of these bullets , I think I’ve done the first and second thing in the past, and definitely feel that consistency of meetups was important in increasing attendance in the EA Philly group when I was running it in 2019 / early 2020.
I’d love to know what a leaner version of our plans might have looked like and how it differed from what you ended up doing. I also wonder if there were ways you could have noticed that the projects were taking longer than optimal as you were doing them.

Less tailor-made events and more consistent simple meetups (socials, YT watch parties, etc).
Less tailor-made targeted outreach and more advertising.
