I help academics protect time for writing and resist overwork. Meaningfulness matters. You are more than your job. I also make things with textiles, read romances, sing alto in a choir. Subscribe to my newsletter: JoVanEvery.co.uk/newsletter
When you're overwhelmed planning can help, but it’s hard to *actually do* when overwhelmed.
That’s where a class comes in: a structure to make key decisions & just a bit of constraint so you actually show up.
My next Planning Class is 12 December. Join us!

Are you worried about 'squandering' your break? You are not alone. Even though you are tired & there are actual public holidays/university closed days, it’s really hard to prioritize rest in December. I have something that might help...

After some slight delay & chaos (it happens to us too!), my interview with Lee Skallerup Bessette is now available! We had a great conversation about her recent co-edited book, the attraction of HE for neurodivergent folk, and how it can become a trap. Listen now: www.buzzsprout.com/2410711/epis...

Just because you wish you had more time for writing, doesn’t mean you can’t make good use of the time you have. Doing it regularly makes a big difference. I run a weekly structured virtual coworking session for academic writers. Try it! academicwritingstudio.co.uk/a-meeting-wi...
