‘I hate my deadline’ – Anti-Procrastination Tips and Tricks

After our sold out creative writing workshop in September, Bangkok Writers

Workshops returns with more tailor-made solutions for startups!

The life of a startup is full of deadlines. And those deadlines can be very stressful.

Luckily, now, you no longer have to face them alone.

Workshop leader Anette Pollner is an award winning author, and a veteran of

thousands of deadlines. She will share her knowledge and experience, and there

will be many practical exercises in how to create a better relationship with your

deadline.


Every participant will go home with at least 3 short texts written during the

workshop – another three deadlines covered! Procrastination doesn’t have to be a

lifestyle. Write yourself out of it and into a more productive startup.


Issues addressed both in theory and practice:

- Why do we procrastinate?  Psychology and economy.
- ‘I hate my deadline’ – is there a way to make this feeling useful?
- Which ‘deadline method’ is best suited to you?  Learn from famous writers around the world.
