'Proctasti . . what now, ugh forget it'. Great thread on managing procrastination now the sunshine is here and the birds are singing.

[Virtual Writing Retreat | PhD Writing Community @VWR_PGR]

Procrastination Prompts 🧵

1. The first step is to identify the task that you're procrastinating on, & why. This will help you understand why you're avoiding it & come up with strategies to tackle it.

Journaling is great tool at this stage.

It's hard to be positive as an #IndenpendentScholar, from disastrous neo-capitalism, grants that assume paid positions, and unequal access to institutional resources. @AWHarzing has a great series to help focus on the positive.

How to craft your ideal job? In my blog I have talked about how as academics we often have more scope to shape our own careers than those in other professions:
👉 Being proactive: https://t.co/hRzISIL4ZQ
👉 Using academic freedom: https://t.co/cxR0Vcb2Ds…https://t.co/JW6NuGlCrc
