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

Humanities PhDs, this sounds great. Take time to learn your #careeroptions #withaphd

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
