What: Social networks are collections of people and organizations who are connected to each other in different ways through common interests or affiliations. A network map visualize these connections. Online and offline.
Why: If we understand the basic building blocks of social networks, and visually map them, we can leverage them for our work and organizations can leverage them for their campaigns. We bring in new people and resources and save time.

What’s Your Attention Focusing Score?
• Understand your goals and priorities and ask yourself at regular intervals whether your current activity serves your higher priority.
• Notice when your attention has wandered, and then gently bringing it back to focus on your highest priority
• Sometimes in order to learn or deepen relationships -- exploring from link to link is permissible – and important. Don’t make attention training so rigid that it destroys flow.
