Title: Boosting writing: Productivity tools that facilitate academic writing
Abstract: How does academic publishing influence the career capital of foreign language teachers in Japan? In this workshop, we will explore how academic publishing shapes our career paths and share strategies to become more productive and engaged writers.
In this workshop, participants will discuss the importance of publishing and explore tools to enhance productivity and enjoyment in writing. I will share my favourite productivity tips and tools, including the Pomodoro Method and Focusmate. The Pomodoro Method and Focusmate help combat lack of focus. I will then introduce applications including Write-or-Die and Scrivener. Write-or-Die provides rewards for continually writing and consequences for slowing down. Scrivener is a word processor that can help writers of all kinds, including academics and fiction writers.
This workshop will most benefit foreign language teachers who seek to enhance thwart writing…
