Episode 9 - 6 practical techniques to supercharge your motivation to take an academic writing course

Welcome back! This is part 3 of our 3-part mini-series on making time to take an academic writing course.
In part 1 of the series (Episode 7), we talked about looking at deeper reasons (limiting beliefs and unhelpful stories you tell yourself) for why you’re not making time to take a writing course. In part 2 (Episode 8), we looked at actionable strategies you can employ today to carve out time to take a writing course.

In this part 3 of the series, we are going to look at practical techniques that will help you supercharge your motivation once you enrolled in a writing course such as the Researchers’ Writing Academy. You’ll get more out of any course that you signed up using these motivation-boosting techniques and also it will also be way more fun!

Thank you to all the Researchers’ Writing Academy members who let me share their examples and experiences in this episode. Good luck with getting your whole brain aligned and making time and freeing up energy to take a writing course!

In this episode, I’ll talk about:
