212: Embracing (and Creating) Seasonality

212: Embracing (and Creating) Seasonality

In today's episode, I discuss embracing seasonality in academia. As academics, we are so lucky that our careers have a natural seasonality, and it's time to leverage it! Whether it's the slow beginnings of a new term or the whirlwind of activity leading up to finals - instead of seeing these ebbs and flows as obstacles, I share why we should embrace them as opportunities for growth and success.

Let's explore practical strategies for managing the inevitable fluctuations in workload that come with each academic season. Semesters have a predictable flow, and it is so important to embrace that seasonality rather than resisting it. By acknowledging and working with the yearly, weekly, and daily seasons of academia, you can enhance your productivity, set boundaries around your time, and build a career you love!
