Boost Your Writing Productivity with Shut Up and Write!
Are you putting off writing that paper or essay? Do you wish you had dedicated time and space to focus on your writing without distractions? Then you need to know about Shut Up and Write!, an international community that's changing the game for writers everywhere.
The Birth of Shut Up and Write!
Shut Up and Write! is a movement that's been gaining momentum since its inception in California back in 2007. Supported by the non-profit organization Writing Partners, this initiative was designed with one goal in mind: to help writers unleash their creativity and get their words onto the page by providing a structured environment for writing.
The Open Research team at Aberdeen hosted our first Shut Up and Write! session in the University Library in March of this year.
A Haven for Writers
Our sessions offer two hours of uninterrupted writing time. We know how important it is to have the right ambiance, so we've got tea, coffee, and biscuits to fuel your creative energy. But what truly sets us apart is the productivity maximising Pomodoro technique.
For the uninitiated, the Pomodoro technique is a time management tool that revolves around 25-minute bursts of focused work, followed by 5-minute breaks. It's a proven method for enhancing concentration and productivity, and it's the secret behind our writing sessions.
When and Where to Join
Currently, we host these invaluable sessions monthly, typically on Thursday afternoons. But we understand that different schedules call for different options, so we're trialling other times and sessions at the Foresterhill campus as well. Follow us on X(Twitter) @OpenResearchUoA and keep an eye on course booking for updates on timings and locations that suit you best.
