The three-day online training is designed for writers (doctoral students, post-docs, professors) already familiar with the Focus Session and who wish to refresh their practice using this approach to productivity.
As a repeater of the Home Office Writing Retreat, the Flow Writing Day or similar courses, you are familiar with the Focus Session and how to work with the Flow Board. You are now ready to dive back into working on your publication producing text using deep concentration. In the end, you will have created a lot of text.
To stay on track, you may also use the online co-working space THE WRITING ACADEMIC to reinforce your writing routine.

Individual Coaching
Writing is the core business in science, writing is a practice. Yet, you simply feel stuck at times, not knowing what to do. This might happen when it comes to structure, content, argumentation, style or when it comes to time management, balancing family life and writing time. You may even get into a kind of writer`s block. That`s when things come to an halt.
It is worthwhile booking a coach early enough - not when things are already on fire.
Participants have the option of receiving a coaching session. In many cases, a brief, well-defined coaching session is enough to get you back on track.
