The Boiler Room Initiative
The first Boiler Room Initiative was started by @maverickfoo and he encouraged Steemians who are keen to take up the baton to continue organizing Boiler Rooms too.
The Boiler Room Initiative was created to provide a conducive environment for Steemians to gather NOT TO TALK, but to have a little peer pressure to post that awesome content you've been meaning to post. Think of it like a library where students go to study for a major upcoming exam. It's in our nature that when we see your other friends/peers study THAT HARD in the library, it gives u a nudge to do so too.Unless you're like me, who falls asleep everytime at home while studying.
In this Boiler Room Initiative, we want to say NO to Facebook, Youtube, Discord or whatever that is taking your time off from writing.
During the Boiler Room
- Come prepared with the topics that you want to write. Pick one out of the few selected that you 'feel' for.
- Spend no more than 25 minutes on final research on the topic you've chosen.
- Do not pick something NEW to you that need few days of research.
- When you're done with a post, you can write more!
- If you need tips on how to generate ideas, you can read 'This Detail GUIDE' by @maverickfoo.
Rules of the Boiler Room
- Do NOT disturb others when he/she is in the zone.
- You may nudge a facilitator for help when he/she is free and if you truly need help deciding a life/death situation.
- Bring your laptop/tablet/mobile or anything else that allows you to draft your posts. Remember to bring power bank and your laptop's power cable.
- If getting into the zone means listening to some music on your laptop, please bring along your headphones so you don't disturb others. No one wants to listen to your Kid's Chinese New Year songs.
- You are not bound by the facilitators and may leave at any time you wish. Just say bye to me :)
- Or you may continue to extend until you're satisfied with your content.

@zestforlife I am , in fact all Malaysian who joined steemit are fortunate to have teammalaysia set up by @mavericksfoo and @bitrocker2020 for their brainchild objective. Many newbie would have given up within first month.

You know, @zord189, you're pretty good at the whole nudge thing, even for those of us not in Malaysia.
Best of luck with this initiative! I know from experience (having run a few writing groups myself) that having support like this is amazing!
