Shut Up & Write that PhD!

Esther Hammelburg and Aris Emmanouloudis started weekly Shut Up & Write sessions, and invite other PhD students to join. Every Tuesday morning from 9-12 we shut up and write together in a (UvA-secured) Zoom session: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/91047924891. This means 3 hours of putting away all distractions and focusing on PhD work. We do advice to take small breaks in between - you could use a pomodoro timer - but stay away from distractions such as news websites, email and social media during the allotted time. It truly helps focus and progress. The sessions also provide a chance for meeting other PhD students in ASCA, especially now we are working from home.

What a session looks like:

9 am camera and mic on for check-in: share what you are working on and goals

----

Write! Mic muted, camera on/off following own preference

----

12 pm camera and mic on for catch up: share about writing experience and review goals
