Postgraduates and postdocs are invited to attend a new workshop aimed to cut down on procrastination and to promote concentration. Whatever you are writing, whether it’s a thesis chapter, grant application, lit review, journal article, research proposal, essay, code, book review, that novel you’ve always had in you… SUAW offers a supportive and only slightly coercive place to do it. This event takes place on the last Wednesday of every month.
Here is how it works: a room is booked and free tea, coffee and cookies put in it. The students arrive, armed with notes/ideas/paper/pens/laptop/inspiration. You then have 15 minutes to drink coffee, chat, eat cookies and arrange a space. Then the first countdown starts at 30 mins. Silence. You write. You feel the silent judgement if you’re not tapping/scribbling away. You see everyone else writing and feel guilty if you are not. This compels you to write more. The timer ends, you have 15 mins to refill your coffee, stretch, exchange witty repartee; and off we go again for another 30 mins. The timer ends, you have written things, you feel marvellous. You vow to return re-inspired.
