Fall 2021 Productivity Kickstart Group - Creative Catapult Coaching
Writer's Productivity Kickstart - Mitigating the impact Covid-19 has had on your productivity.
Are you stuck on your current project (s) or want some dedicated time and space to work on your writing? Meet with other like-minded writers looking for motivation in a six-week group to support tangible progress on your current project(s). The underlying theme is “What impact has the Covid-19 pandemic had on productivity for creatives?”
Self-care and compassion are essential, but so is progress, especially when you need to eat! When you’re overwhelmed, how do you reconcile the two? This is a discussion element, along with productivity. Discussion uses different parts of the brain. It also adds different perspectives and solutions available to the group.

· It is not a mental health support group, but being around others engaged in a similar vision can build resilience and energy.
