SECTION A: GOAL OVERVIEW

I will attend 8 social Meetup events and form genuine friendships with 5 new people, exchanging contact info and meeting them outside organized events.

SECTION B: BREAKDOWN OF STEPS

Week 1: Join 5 Meetup groups (hiking, board games, book club), RSVP to 2 events this week, prepare conversation starters.
Week 2: Attend 2 events, initiate conversations with 5+ people per event, exchange Instagram/phone numbers with 2-3 connections.
Week 3: Attend 3 events (mix of groups), follow up with Week 2 contacts via text, invite 1-2 people for coffee outside Meetup.
Week 4: Attend 3 final events, solidify 5 friendships through one-on-one hangouts, create group chat with new friends.

SECTION C: EVIDENCE COLLECTION PLAN

1. Meetup event check-in screenshots — proof of attendance at 8 events with timestamps.
2. Text message screenshots (names redacted) — showing conversations and plans with 5 different people.
3. Photos from one-on-one meetups — 5 separate coffee/lunch meetings outside organized events (faces can be blurred for privacy).
4. Group chat screenshot — showing active conversation with minimum 5 new contacts.

SECTION D: POTENTIAL OBSTACLES & SOLUTIONS

Social anxiety at events → attend with accountability partner first time, prepare 3 conversation starters, arrive 10 min early to ease in.
People not following through → reach out to 10+ people to account for drop-off, don't take personally, focus on genuine connections.
Schedule conflicts → prioritize weekends, block calendar every Saturday for Meetup events.

SECTION E: PROGRESS UPDATE SCHEDULE

Updates twice weekly in comments: Days 4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 25, 28. Share number of events attended, connections made, follow-up progress.

SECTION F: DEFINITION OF SUCCESS

Complete when: 8 Meetup events attended (documented check-ins), 5 people met outside organized events (coffee/lunch photos), active text conversations with all 5 (screenshots), group chat created with new friends.
