Staff & Faculty, Do You Need Quiet Writing Time?

Setting aside regular blocks of time to focus on writing is one of the keys to maintaining productivity. As such, all staff and faculty are invited to utilize Lindell 202 as a distraction-free zone. For the rest of the semester Lindell 202 is available from 12:30-2:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and 10:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Fridays. If the door is locked, call campus security or ask library personnel to open the door.

There are no expectations for how long you stay or how many times you utilize the space. Just come in, sit down, abide by the one rule (no talking), and start writing. If you can't make the designated times, simply carve out a consistent time and space and start writing.
