will this work for me: experimental approaches to scholarly life

$111.00

if we all could succeed as scholars by scheduling our fifteen minutes of writing a day, an entire industry of scholarly productivity advice would wither. but we can’t, so we are here to offer you an alternative: experimental approaches to actually discover what works for you, and under what conditions.

in this all new workshop by dr. kate henry and dr. katy peplin, we’ll take you through structured and hands on activities to help you understand:

  • how you understand what does and doesn’t work for you in your work life

  • how to ask questions beyond “will this piece of writing get done on time” to measure how you are spending your time and energy

  • how to design experiments to test new (or revised) strategies, and actually feel confident interpreting and acting on the data (even if it isn’t what you expect)

  • how to use all of this information to create a repeatable, sustainable system that you can use again and again for when life and working conditions change, again

the workshop will be live

saturday, 7 february 2026

12 - 3 pm EST

and all participants will receive:

  • our brand new workbook to accompany, structure, and expand on the workshop during and after the live event

  • the recording and transcript
