  • Her metaphor of the writing burrow really struck me. The ‘burrow’ clearly signals that you will be out of communication for a bit. You’re going to be cut off, living in your own world, tunneling deep into ideas, hibernating until the writing is done.

    "It is amazing how much you can accomplish in a short time when you are focused and uninterrupted. In just 20 minutes, I was able to write an entire page of my thesis or review a whole journal article - tasks that would have taken me an hour or longer before. Even if you have the luxury of long stretches of time, I encourage you to try "writing sprints" of 10-30 minutes each. Focus on putting your ideas on paper, and do not worry about making mistakes. Some students find it helpful to do their writing sprints first thing in the morning, before they get interrupted or need to start putting out fires. Make sure your phone and email are turned off, so you can put your attention fully on writing for just 10-30 minutes."
