Esther Hammelburg and Aris Emmanouloudis started weekly Shut Up & Write sessions, and invite other PhD candidates to join. Every Tuesday morning from 9-12 we shut up and write together in a (UvA-secured) Zoom session. 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 candidates in RMeS, especially now we are working from home.
What a session looks like:
