Writing under pressure (strategies when you are short on time and long on ambition)ting under pressure

Academics often have to pick up and put down a piece of writing, making it hard to find focus and flow. PhD students can experience the same problems when they are forced to go part time to complete their project. Learn how to complete writing projects 'on top of everything else' and without losing your mind.

In this workshop, Professor Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer), a prolific writer, shares her top strategies on getting that writing done, preferably within a standard working week. This workshop is suitable for anyone who reacts to the title and says 'Yes! This is what I need in my life!'. It helps if you have a writing project you're struggling to get done - we'll show you how to make progress.

Bio of presenter:Inger is currently the Director of Researcher Development at The Australian National University where she oversees professional development workshops and programs for all ANU researchers. She's been an author on 8 books and counting, so she knows what it's like to produce writing alongside a more than full time job. Aside from creating new posts on the Thesis Whisperer blog and podcasting, she writes scholarly papers, books and book chapters about research education, with a special interest in post-PhD employability and neurodiversity.
