Open to all
Limited to 15 participants
Hybrid Workshop*
A one-day workshop on time management, organization, and goal setting for writers. This workshop is for writers of all genres who struggle to balance writing with busy lives or to stay organized with their time and their projects. Participants should bring their laptops and any current agenda/calendar systems so that these can be used during the workshop.
The workshop will begin with self-reflection prompts and exercises to help participants create “goal pyramids” that clarify and prioritize long-term writing and publication goals. We’ll also work to define clear goals for participants’ current projects and break these into small, realistic action steps. We’ll explore various organizational and time-management tools in both digital and analog formats, including timers, spreadsheets, calendars, bullet journals, and project notebooks. Participants will learn practical strategies to boost creativity, stay on track with writing projects, and reduce stress, procrastination, and perfectionism. Essentially, this workshop will provide support, tools, and strategies to help participants gain more control over their time and their projects.
*This workshop will take place at the QWF Office (Room 3, 1200 Atwater Avenue, Westmount, Quebec) with up to 3 virtual spots for participants who are unable to attend in-person because of distance or disability. By default, all workshop registrations are for in-person spots. If you can’t attend in person and would like to request a virtual slot, contact Riley at riley@qwf.org and wait for confirmation before registering. Please do not register until after you receive confirmation that there is a virtual spot for you.
