The Monthly Reset: A Co-Working Session for Creative Women (Virtual)

From Creative Women Entrepreneurs in NYC

**RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/4qtemyzl](https://luma.com/4qtemyzl) A simple way to start your month with intention… and actually get something done. ​ Join the **Creative Women Entrepreneurs** community for a monthly, 90-minute virtual co-working session designed to help you focus, reset, and move something forward. If you’ve been meaning to “get to it,” this is your time! **​How it Works:** We’ll meet for 90 minutes on Zoom and begin with a quick check-in and intention setting. After that, we’ll mute and work independently in silence together. At the end, we’ll come back for a short share to celebrate progress. ​– *First 10 minutes:* verbal check-in + set your intention – *Next 70 minutes:* focused work (silent co-working) – *Final 10 minutes:* share what you worked on + celebrate progress ​ This is a form of *“body doubling”*: working in the presence of others to stay focused and accountable. Studies have shown that simply working in the presence of others can improve focus and follow-through. **RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/4qtemyzl](https://luma.com/4qtemyzl) **​What Should You Work On?** Anything you’ve been meaning to get to! ​– setting goals for the month – fleshing out content ideas – organizing your finances – tackling something you’ve been putting off! ​The time is yours to use however you need. ​ **Who This is For:** Creative women who want a more intentional way to start the month. This is for you if you’re looking for structure, accountability, and a calm environment to focus. **About Creative Women Entrepreneurs** Creative Women Entrepreneurs is a NYC-based community for women building creative businesses. ​We host events designed for real connection, from walks and co-working sessions to workshops and gatherings that go beyond traditional networking. ​ Check out [our calendar on Luma](https://luma.com/creativewomenentrepreneurs) to view our upcoming events. **RSVP on Luma here: https://luma.com/4qtemyzl**
