You’ve been approved — welcome. Here’s a simple path through your first week, so you’re not staring at a full sidebar wondering where to begin.
Day 1: Get oriented #
Start in Welcome / Start Here, even if you’ve already read the About page. It’s short, and it sets the tone for everything else here. Then take a look through How Circle One Works in this Knowledge Base — it’ll save you a lot of guessing later.
Day 2–3: Say hello #
Head to The Commons and introduce yourself — where you’re coming from, what pulled you here, what you’re hoping to find or build. You don’t need a polished statement. Honesty lands better than polish here.
Day 4–5: Choose your level of involvement #
Decide which tier fits where you’re actually at right now — Standard if you want to be part of the conversation, Full if you’re ready to step into an Initiative, Inner Circle if you want closer mentorship. There’s no wrong answer, and no rush.
Day 6–7: Find your Initiative, or don’t yet #
If something in the eight Initiatives is already calling you, go read what’s happening there before posting — get a feel for the current thinking before adding to it. If nothing’s calling you yet, that’s fine too. Sit in The Commons a while longer. This isn’t a race.
The only real rule for week one #
Read before you post, in the working spaces especially. A lot of thinking has often already happened before you arrive — catching up on it first makes your first contribution land better.
