@Nyasirwa @AlionyaRoseline This lady is annoying to listen to - she is defensive without listening to facts, she doesn't argue objectively, keeps interrupting.

One of the most challenging aspects of academic writing: getting started.

Here's how to get started on piece of academic writing be it a seminar paper, a journal article, or a dissertation.

The most important thing about academic writing is that it's a product of reading, reading, and then some more reading.

But it's not any ordinary kind of reading — it's active reading.

Often grad students and dissertations writers struggle because they think they haven't read enough in their field.

On the other end of the spectrum are folks who read to avoid writing — something called productive procrastination.

You want to stay somewhere in the middle on this spectrum:

Haven't read enough<<<<<<<>>>>>>>Reading too much

One of the best ways of doing it is to read in a manner that it feeds directly into your writing.

But how?

Start by reading widely in your field/subfield especially when you're starting out in grad school.

Find a canonical text you vibe with.

(For me it was Imagined Communities by Benedict Andersen.)

Once you've figured it out, read the text closely.

The first few times it may not even make much sense to you. That's okay.

Keep at it.

Imagine having a dialogue with the author.

Take a notebook. On the right-hand page, write down what the author is saying.

On the left-hand page, write down your impressions and questions. (What do you mean by X? I don't understand Y.)

Keep reading the same passages over and over.

Keep writing your impressions and questions.

This exercise will do two things — both crucial for any type of academic writing:

1. It will teach how to read and process academic prose patiently.

2. It will also teach you how to give your own take on a given work — in writing.

Repeat the process with another text.

And then another.

Do this exercise for a few weeks.

At the end of it, you will have written quite a few pages.

Now you may not think of it that way, but you've already started writing.

A final word: this is one of the many ways of getting started on a piece of academic writing. But it's very effective.

This method helped me write my dissertation in 12 months.

If you are an academic who constantly feels under stress due to work, here's a simple tip that may help you.

Once Joseph Heller, the famous American novelist, best known for his 1961 satirical novel "Catch-22" was at a party in New York.

Kurt Vonnegut, another famous novelist, was there too. Vonnegut told Heller that their host — a billionair, hedge fund manager — made more money in a day than his bestselling novel Catch-22 over the course of its publishing career.

Heller replied, "Yes, but I have something he [the billionaire] will never have...enough."

Heller's insight about having "enough" is such a powerful idea it may change the way you look at the world.

Say, you get up in the morning, read a paper or two, and write a couple hundred words. Then you do you house chores and spend some time with your family.

At the end of the day, you can choose to look at what you did in two ways.

You can either say to yourself: I should've read another paper or written a few more words. I should've done more.

This will make you feel unsatisfied and insecure. And you will end up resenting your work sooner or later.

Or, you can tell yourself: I did "enough" for today. Tomorrow, I will try to do it again.

This will make you feel satisfied with the day.

No matter how you look at your day, the amount of work you do will remain the same.

Get your work done for the day. Then choose enough and feel satisfied. Do it again the next day and the next...
