Creating a Satisfying Academic Career with Jo Van Every
I help academics build their confidence to do the work they find meaningful and find the time to do it.
This podcast includes a whole range of topics: strategies for protecting your time, writing and editing advice, thoughts on careers and the wider context, preventing overwork and burnout, etc.
Pursuing a scholarly career is tough these days. I firmly believe that your academic career has the potential for joy as well as success.
I also believe that you can pursue your scholarly work in whatever situation you find yourself in, even if it's not ideal. You don't have to, but if it's important to you, you don't have to wait for someone else to create the ideal conditions.
For more audio tracks, we started posting over on Soundcloud before beginning this distribution journey. We'll be adding more to the platforms you love as soon as we can!
Enjoy your writing

Creating a Satisfying Academic Career with Jo Van Every
Focus isn't just a mind problem - Hannah de Keizer
A guest post from Hannah de Keijzer, book coach and non-fiction editor, about recruiting your office space and physical habits to help you get into focus more quickly and work more effectively.
Like me, Hannah works with a lot of writers who are squeezing writing in amongst other professional and personal responsibilities. Writing at home can make it easier not to be distracted by other work responsibilities, but the space available is often less than ideal.
I love the suggestions Hannah makes in this post for making your writing space welcome, and reducing distractions, even in those less than ideal circumstances. She includes an example of writing at the kitchen counter!
She also suggests small physical rituals to enter and exit focused work time.
Listen to Hannah read her post in her own words.
