This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

Writing, research and other work can sometimes feel isolating, but you do not have to go through it alone. If you are looking for accountability and a structured approach to productivity, join the co-working group sessions led by GradProSkills.

Each session follows a Pomodoro-style format designed to support focused work and accountability while fostering meaningful connections with peers with two or three 45-min focus periods with 15-min breaks in between each focus period.

Throughout each session, you’ll benefit from dedicated and structured time to focus on writing or other academic tasks in a supportive environment. These sessions aim to help you build consistency, reduce isolation and create space for meaningful progress on your work.

After participating in these co-working sessions, participants will be able to:

  • Apply structured focused strategies to support sustained academic work and productivity
  • Reflect on their writing goals and progress and explore strategies for overcoming setbacks in a supportive peer environment
  • Develop more consistent and sustainable work habits and strategies through accountability and community connections
