Scheduling and maintaining focus with sustainable habits.

After working for many years as a political scientist, she started to work as a writing coach in 2019 and supports young scholars and scientists in every stage of the academic writing process. She‘s convinced that pen and paper are the most effective tools for learning and deepening knowledge (www.handpapierkopf.de).
