This session will be DELIVERED VIRTUALLY - joining instructions will be provided beforehand.

樱花动漫 this course:

You set a writing goal.

The end of the week comes and you miss your goal.

You tell yourself next week will be different.

But, it isn't.

Like most academics, you are not short of motivation or ability.

Rather, you are short of a planning approach that actually fits how academic work feels.

This workshop looks honestly at why standard productivity advice doesn't stick, and helps you find a different way in.

Learning outcomes:

As a result of attending this course, you will be able to:.

- Identify what is driving writing guilt and whether it deserves the weight you're giving it.

- Set writing intentions that connect to what matters to you, rather than arbitrary output targets.

- Plan your writing in a way that feels sustainable rather than punishing.

Who should attend this course:

The course is for Researchers and academics at any career stage who find themselves repeatedly missing their own writing targets, carrying guilt about unfinished work, or feeling like they're failing at something they genuinely care about.

This workshop is particularly useful if you've tried every productivity system going and none of them have stuck.

If you have accessibility requirements, please contact researcherdevelopment@exeter.ac.uk in advance to discuss further.
