Or maybe some data analysis that just keeps slipping to the bottom of your to-do list? Alongside everything else that needs to fit in with our busy research lives, it can be hard to schedule devoted time in which to sit, think, and write. Our online&nbsp;retreats&nbsp;give you time, peace, and space to fend off procrastination and beat&nbsp;writer&#8217;s&nbsp;block. Each session will provide a friendly and constructive environment in which to meet like-minded peers, discuss challenges and work in a focused way using the established Pomodoro technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following are some tips consider in advance of the&nbsp;retreat:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bring a piece of work with you: It might be part of a chapter or article you are&nbsp;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<\/li><li>Get ready: Participants find that if they are set up when the&nbsp;retreat&nbsp;gets started, it is easier to focus. Open any documents or applications you need, grab a notebook, shut off your phone and social media in advance<\/li><li>Get comfortable: Can you create your ideal&nbsp;writing&nbsp;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.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The University of York is hosting a session on 18th&nbsp;November, as part of a range of sessions held throughout November by our colleagues in other universities &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>you are welcome to attend any of these sessions, and as many as you wish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Date<\/td><td>Host<\/td><td>Link<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2nd November, 10:00<\/td><td>Kings<\/td><td><a
