Masterclass - Turbocharge Your Writing

Getting your thesis/research finished (quicker!)

This course will teach you how to maximise your writing output and how to overcome common obstacles that reduce your writing productivity by:

• setting a goal and guaranteeing you achieve it
• producing double the number of words compared to your usual output
• get more written in two hours a day than in eight
• dealing with writer's block and procrastination
• not obsessing over the quality of writing
• not letting distractions get in the way of your writing
• not thinking your writing or research is good enough
• working well with your supervisor to improve your writing
• actually finishing your research on the date you set!

Who is it for?
