It can be tough to stay motivated and maintain the sustainable habits you need to meet your goals when you have an article, chapter, or even your final thesis due. A little uninterrupted time to work in a focused and supportive environment could be just the ticket to get you back on track. King’s Doctoral College are here to offer some structure and company on your long writing days with our upcoming series of writing retreats.Join us for a full day of writing on Waterloo, Denmark Hill, Guy’s or Strand campuses, where you’ll work towards your personal writing goals alongside other students. We’ll provide a distraction-free workspace, some refreshments and a Pomodoro timer to remind you to take regular breaks. The rest is up to you!We encourage you to make the most of these writing retreats by clearing your schedule and committing to a full day of work, but we also welcome students whose schedule only allows for a few hours of focus.
