Small, interactive workshops designed to fill the gaps in your training with personalized advice and Q&A.
All of Kel’s “How To…” sessions are offered on our private Mighty Network. Join the network for free to see the current listings and get other productivity advice for free! (see note at bottom)
HOW TO OUTLINE
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. NOTE: This is NOT a workshop in old school rigid outlines. Learn how to outline for your brain!
As with all of the How To… workshops, this workshop is effective for scholars at every level, whether you are working on a dissertation, an article, a grant, or a book.

HOW TO EDIT
Do you know the two types and five steps of editing? Can you tell which of the five steps of editing you are engaged in? Academic writers spend (and waste) an inordinate amount of energy trying to do everything everywhere all at once. Nowhere is that hodgepodge approach more destructive than in conflating and co-mingling the different stages of editing, especially when it takes place when you are WRITING.
Join Kel in this small group workshop to learn the two types and five steps of editing. Clean up your process and get out of the muck.
As with all of the How To… workshops, this workshop is effective for scholars at every level, whether you are working on a dissertation, an article, a grant, or a book.

HOW TO SITUATE YOUR WORK
Think of your project like a house you are wanting to build in a neighborhood with fairly prescribed building codes. If it is going to be approved, it needs to fit. This workshop helps you find your project’s place, answering the key questions you MUST answer in order to move on to conceptualizing your project. What landscape does your project inhabit? What do you need to do to “fit” in the place you have decided to build? Kel will walk you through the steps to find all the answers you need to be part of the neighborhood you’ve chosen.
As with all of the How To… workshops, this workshop is effective for scholars at every level, whether you are working on a dissertation, an article, a grant, or a book.
A note from Kel: I am moving all of my productivity work over to Mighty Network with the goal of extracting myself (and your data) from social media platforms that, let’s face it, are not designed to benefit either of us.
You can read about Mighty Networks here, but the bottom line is, I pay for a private network so your data remains yours. “Private” also means content cannot be seen until you are accepted and acceptance is moderated.
