Before the Retreat

  • Consider relocating — work from a café, library, or a different room than usual
  • Block out the writing sessions in your calendar
  • Remove distractors: silence notifications, close unneeded tabs, tidy your desk
  • Make a meal plan so you don't lose writing time deciding what to eat
  • Sleep well this week — keep evening plans light
