Play has been very slow when we have had turnchats recently, and that is because EVERYTHING has to have been discussed in chat before carrying out. This is difficult, and play would be much sped up if the Ministers (or even a concerned citizen) spent a little time examining the save and planning for the next 5-6 turns. Then, if the orders/ideas are posted ahead of any chat, they can be discussed and refined, meaning that everything can go much more smoothly in the chat. Unseen circumstances can always crop up, but there are always predictable elements to plan ahead for eg workers.
At this early stage, we have little enough that it would not take too long to plan a few steps ahead. I have done this in some cases, but the President cannot cover FAM, military, Domestic Matters and colonisation alone. We need Ministers/posting citizens able to spend a scant hour or two per week planning, posting and responding to posts. You don't even need to be in the chat if the orders are there!
This is the perfect time, before all the others come rushing back from holidays - act now and grab yourself some of the fun. You might just learn something about Civ too

Uh oh! 
If you want to do something that will take very little time/effort at all, go for it.
