166: How To Plan Your Summer Writing

166: How To Plan Your Summer Writing

The summer is almost here! I know we are all looking forward to a break after the close of the semester. But so many of us in academia go into the summer with dreams of clearing our publication pipelines. We imagine full days of uninterrupted writing. But unfortunately, these lofty goals are usually unrealistic.

In this episode, I go over 5 steps to creating a successful summer writing plan. First, I encourage you to lower your expectations. You are already overloaded dealing with final grades. Don't push that energy into the summer. Every time you miss the impossibly high bar you set for yourself, it generates negative self-talk that damages your relationship with writing. Instead, my 5 step process builds a manageable writing schedule focused on attainable goals. Let's get started.
