SUMMARY:Turbocharge your Publication or Thesis Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Dr Maria Gardiner from iThinkwell will be presenting a workshop titled ‘Turbocharge your Publication or Thesis Workshop’ at the Lismore campus on Thursday 2 February.  This workshop is open to all our researchers including HDR students.  Further information on this workshop is provided below.  Anyone interested should register via the link on our research development webpage. \nTurbocharge Your Publications or Thesis \nWould you like to know the secret to high output\, high quality\, scholarly writing? In academia\, because writing is such a big part of what you do\, it is often assumed that it comes naturally. However\, for most academics\, it can be a hit and miss activity\, with some days (weeks or even months!) being hard to get started. And when you do get started you might sit there for hours and not produce many words. Finally\, when the words are on the page\, you may wonder why you bothered since what you have written isn’t very good. \nThis workshop draws on the overwhelming body of research (and experience with thousands of writers). This research shows that there are very clear and practical evidence-based strategies that can greatly increase your writing quality and quantity. Key aspects of this workshop have featured in the journal Nature. \nThis workshop will help you to understand: \n\nwhy it can be hard to get started\n\n\nhow we deliberately use distractions to slow down writing\n\n\nthe principles of quick starting\n\n\nwhy snack writing is generally more productive than binge writing\n\n\nhow to deal with the internal committee that slows down writing\n\n\nhow to set achievable goals by writing in a silo \n\n\nhow to greatly double (or more) the number of actual words you produce\n\n\nhow to clarify your thinking and improve the quality of your work\n\n  \n  \nWho is it for: Researchers and research students \nLength: 3 hours \nMaximum number: 30 \nBook: The companion book to this workshop is Turbocharge Your Writing \n
