Productivity Bootcamp
Location: The Center for Writing & Rhetoric (141 E. 12th St. Claremont, CA 91711)
Welcome to the In-Person Productivity Bootcamp! The Summer Productivity Bootcamp is designed for you to fall into a flow with a consistent and predictable structure across the days. Each day begins in the same way. Blocks, breaks and lunch are the same lengths and at the same times, and a reflective exercise ends each day. Hopefully, by day two, you will not need to think too much about the schedule.

Before the Event
Prepare all your materials. This may include having your library materials handy, downloading and/or installing necessary programs on your laptop, etc., or having your notes ready and organized. Please download the Goal Setting Handout for the goal-setting opportunity at the start of the event. This will allow you to maximize your writing blocks. In preparation for the SDBC, you created a writing plan to map out your goals for this event. Be sure to have your writing plan available to reference as you break into smaller, daily work tasks using the goal setting handout.
If this is your first time attending a Center for Writing & Rhetoric event and you would like to learn more about our approach to goal-setting for the event, here’s a video of CWR Director Dr. Marcus Weakley explaining how to use the handout.
What to Bring
- Determination and positive energy to write.
- Your computer, books, papers, notes, etc. Use the time for sustained writing so you move your work forward.
- If possible, dedicate a workspace to your writing project so that you can come back to it later.
