THE UNCANNY CAFÉ

What is it?

All the willpower in the world is not enough to stick to a plan for some of us. If you struggle with focus and attention or are just kind of lonely, why not visit The Uncanny Café? We meet every week to socialise, set goals, share struggles and celebrate our successes. Whether you're writing a dissertation, studying for an exam or planning your next big project, there is a space for you at the café!

​

How does it work?

We turn our cameras on (optional), our mics off (not optional) and post our goals for the session on a shared board (optional). We follow the Pomodoro Method to create and meet sustainable goals while taking important breaks for our minds and bodies. During social time and breaks, we can share our struggles and ask for advice from other guests. After we have completed a set number of Pomodoros, we take some time to reflect (silently or out loud to the group) about how we feel and what we accomplished.

How do I join?

Just sign up!

Admission to the café is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. As long as there are spots available, you can sign up for free by scrolling down and clicking 'Join Our Community'. This season's sessions have already started, and we're always excited for new members!

 

Donations keep me caffeinated, but are not required to join. If you do feel like accessing the group is worth a cup of coffee, I accept e-transfers at chelsea@uncannyacademic.com (but this is not at all necessary).
