Testimonials:

“In normal times I am lucky to wrap up one article per month; after the session I finalised three. The short, effective goal-setting exercises focused my writing and prevented distraction.”
— Darrick Evensen, University of Edinburgh

“Nicole distilled piercing and clear advice into immediately actionable steps designed to help us regain balance and control in our busy lives. Priceless.”
— Etienne B. Roesch, University of Reading

"It was really good: great on structuring and focus and really helpful on prioritizing one's own work and being clear-eyed about the temptations to overcommit. I thought it was terrific. She was very well-structured, great delivery, knew what she was talking about. I thought the idea of 'active recovery' when writing was brilliant, and the tips for making sure you do your own writing were practical and applicable. She was personable, super clever, and professional. Thank you!"

“Dr Janz’s workshop spoke directly to the concerns of researchers under pressure to deliver significant research. She created a warm, accepting environment… Participants later spoke of the confidence it had given them to create a meaningful writing schedule.”
— Anna Kasket, Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute

"I really liked the emphasis on recovery time - so important for sustainable working."

— Participant at Cambridge

"Nicole was very engaging and I appreciated her sense of confidence and encouragement that we really could all make more time for writing. I also liked that she incorporated the need for self-care and other commitments into her goal-setting - it wasn't about being a machine! " — Participant at Cambridge

"I liked how open Nicole was about her own career path and writing struggles. The session brought up points I hadn't really thought about - like the importance of saying no to tasks - and gave good pointers about structuring your time."

— Participant at Cambridge

"A brilliant session!  I found it very insightful and practical, as it made me replan my entire writing week to be more productive. The hands-on approach is also great."

— Participant at Cambridge

"I found this extremely helpful indeed! I think Nicole is offering a really unique perspective on academic writing. Nicole can digest and reinterpret the productivity and self-help lit for academics, also drawing on her personal experience to provide a very rich and helpful offering. I can really see that being trained by her in the longer term would be a game-changer."

— Participant at Cambridge

"Many of Nicole's tips were easy to implement (and I've started the flow ritual tips already), and it was very restorative and encouraging."

— Participant at Cambridge

"One thing I have definitely incorporated in my writing routine from Nicole's workshop is to pick up two things that are helping me get into the flow of writing: a song, and a matcha latte. This simple trick has been very useful so far!"

— Participant at Cambridge

"I will be implementing many of Nicole's tips for structuring time, and will be exploring her resources further."

— Participant at Cambridge

"Nicole's session was excellent ... Particularly useful for me was thinking about the 'future self' and using this to prioritise, and to do so in a planned way (i.e., over a week but also over a month or three months). ... We will always have constraints of different kinds, and Nicole showed us ways of finding time inspire of these."
