Are you blaming lack of time for your backlog of publications? In this segment of the podcast series on writing practices, I explain why your publishing problem isn't time. It's a lack of discernment.

I discuss how academia breeds a scarcity mindset and why the pressure to do as much as possible hinders our ability to move projects through to publication. Instead of trying to work on every idea that comes to mind, I suggest adopting a more strategic approach to project selection by leveraging your academic mission statement. By embracing the natural ebb and flow of your career, you can overcome the binge-and-bust cycle and develop a more sustainable relationship-based writing practice.

If you're ready to clear your pipeline and get your work out into the world, remember: it's about intentionality and strategic planning, not just finding more time. Tune in to learn how to reshape your approach to publishing so that it aligns with your career goals.
