Procrastination is hard in grad school but not when you’re doing it together.

Join us for our next Write-In, a dedicated space where we combine intentional work with genuine community. This isn’t just about sitting in silence; it’s about setting clear intentions, holding ourselves accountable, and celebrating the small wins that keep us moving forward.

What to expect:

Structured time for writing, coding, or reading.
Quiet Community: Work alongside peers who understand the grind.
Networking opportunity: have the chance to meet other graduate students and build community.

Our Structure for the Day:

Goal Setting (Start): We begin by sharing our specific goals for the session. What will you accomplish today? Writing 500 words? Cleaning up data? Outlining a chapter? Say it out loud to make it real.
Deep Work Blocks: Dedicated, distraction-free time to tackle those goals alongside fellow researchers. You’re not alone in the grind.
Reflection & Celebration (End): We close by reflecting on what we achieved. Did you hit your goal? What worked? Let’s celebrate every small win together!

Why this works: Isolating yourself makes procrastination easy. But when you intentionally take time to work with others, accountability becomes natural. You’ll leave not just with progress made, but with a renewed sense of momentum and a supportive network of friends.

Note: Exclusively for current Master’s & PhD students.
RSVP to secure your spot! Spaces are limited to maintain a quiet atmosphere.
Note: Please bring your laptop, notes, and a water bottle.
