Shut up and read! Shut up and write!

Are you struggling to stay focused and get things done? During a Shut up and read! Shut up and write! meeting, we work together in a room where everyone focuses on their own tasks. We do this to inspire each other and get away from distractions.

During a Shut up and read! Shut up and write! meeting you put aside everything unrelated to your work and focus on getting your reading or writing done. You work together with other students, switch off your mobile phone and read or write intensively for two hours. At the beginning of the meeting, you will set a goal for your work, and we will help you with suggestions. To aid concentration we use a version of the Pomodoro method: we work in two 45-minute sessions with a break in between. Afterwards, we discuss how it went. 

Our Shut up and read! Shut up and write! meetings are held in Swedish and English and they are open to all students at Stockholm University and the Swedish Defence University.

 

The Academic Writing Service provides free support for academic writing and study skills to all students at Stockholm University and the Swedish Defence University. Find out about our services at su.se/writingservice
