How to One-on-One: A Six-Year Retrospective

I've been consistently doing personal weekly one-on-ones (i.e., meeting to talk about our lives and problems) with the same partner for 6 years now. We're at 250+ sessions and still going strong. This has been both of our biggest productivity enhancements, which is quite a statement given how many things we've both tried over the years.

I'll give my thoughts on the ideal 1:1 partner, session format, lessons learned, benefits, detriments, Q&A, etc.

If you're interested, I'll also help facilitate you finding and committing to a 1:1 partner for a few months to see if this is as effective for you as it was for us.
