How to Create Your Own One-Day Writing Retreat

This free guide shows you how to create a one-day writing retreat that actually fits into your academic life, instead of competing with it. It tackles the problems most academics struggle with when they try to write: not knowing how to structure the day, aiming too high, getting interrupted, losing focus halfway through, or feeling guilty for taking time for themselves in the first place.

Inside, you’ll find a realistic one-day retreat schedule, clear solutions to common writing roadblocks, concrete examples of what you can get done in a few focused hours, and practical templates to help you plan your day, break your work into manageable tasks, and see real progress by the end.

The aim is simple: to make writing feel possible again, even if you are tired or feel overwhelmed.
