lesson plan
You will learn why underproductivity is NOT the result of laziness or lack of commitment, but constraints that are inhibiting your ability to create. We examine, and discuss ways of overcoming, those constraints, which include resource constraints, bias, internalized oppression, and exploitation. (In addition to procrastination, perfectionism and time constraints, which are discussed in the other workshops.) Liberate yourself from those constraints, as this workshop teaches, and you will see your energy, discipline, commitment, etc., “magically” reappear – and your writing take off!
