You have an urgent project to finish?

You sometimes procrastinate and dread important tasks?

In this virtual writing retreat, we commit to "eating the frog":

• Follow the goal setting technique from Brian Tracy's book "Eat That Frog " and get the important stuff done first
• Get into the flow quickly using the method of micro goals for each writing sprint
• 10X your accountability: set goals, then share what happened

What have participants completed during a 2.5 day retreat?

✅ "drafts of the first three sections of my research paper"

✅ "completed a robust outline of my long-neglected book chapter"

✅ "Chapter One and I finished outlining all the remaining chapters"

Feedback from 2021 February participants

"If I had not come today, I would have taken weeks of stress to get to where I am today."

" I now have a lot of motivation to complete this project and get it off my desk."

"My big win is getting out of the way the ‘boring’ writing so that I can start with the fun part which is result analysis and write-up."
