Idea Bootcamp: Five Steps to Organize Your Scholarly Project

You have a kickass academic project, and you know it’s good, but you can’t quite nail down how it all fits together.  Can you distinguish your topic, your thesis, your findings, your disciplinary contribution?   Could you deliver the elevator speech?  In this workshop productivity coach Kel Weinhold walks you through the five key questions you need to be able to answer to get out of your own way and prove to editors (or your committee) that your work is ready for prime time.  This workshop is based on Kel’s  Unstuck: The Art of Productivity and is effective for scholars at every level, whether you are working on a dissertation, an article, a grant, or a book.

Next Session: Tue, June 28, 10:00am – 11:15am Pacific

Outline Bootcamp: Organize your ideas; Organize your life! (Or at least your current project)

Are you trying to build a house without a plan? Do you spend your time choosing paint colors when you don’t even have walls to put them on? If your house is your project and your paint colors are your sentences, you are not alone. Lots of academics waste time and energy sweating the small stuff before they have figured out the big stuff that matters. And they do it that way because outlining is HARD! Why wouldn’t it be? Outlining means sorting out your big ideas and getting them in a logical order that supports your main assertion. That’s a heavy lift.

Join Kel in this small group workshop where she will walk you through the key parts of successful outlining. This workshop is based on Kel’s  30+ years of editing where she moved authors forward in projects big and small. As with all of the Back To Basics workshops, this workshop is effective for scholars at every level, whether you are working on a dissertation, an article, a grant, or a book..
