23Things will be running a two-day Virtual Writing Retreat from 23rd−24th April on Microsoft Teams. These sessions will be informal and encouraging, and are designed to motivate you though whatever writing or editing task you need to get done. 23Things is an international initiative, and we hope to be joined by colleagues and researchers from around the globe, all working on their own projects. This is a great chance to hear about research going on around the world, meet other PhD researchers, and spend time focusing on writing in an accountable, supportive environment. 

Some top tips include:

  • Bring a piece of work with you. It might be part of a chapter or article you are writing, or maybe a presentation, bit of data analysis, or feedback you need to work through. Any task that would benefit from focused work time and motivation from your peers is appropriate.
  • Get ready! Participants find that if they are set up when the retreat gets started, it's easier to focus. Open any documents or applications you need, grab a notebook, and shut off your phone and social media in advance.
  • Get comfortable. Can you create your ideal writing environment? Check your chair and lighting, make a cup of tea or coffee, and get comfy. There will be regular breaks, but comfort is important to your productivity.
