Day one and week one
Week one sets the habits you keep. Day one: a welcome call on video, the tools and log-ins, and one written task with a finished example. Every day: a check-in at a fixed time and a three-line report at the end of the day — what is done, what is next, what they are stuck on. Friday: a ten-minute review.
Give access on day one, not day four. Nothing kills a start like waiting.
Do this today: put the welcome call and the daily check-in in your calendar before they start.
