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

Optimizing Focus
Over the years I've written a lot about focus and distraction.
This track introduces the collection of posts from my blog around this theme, with some new thoughts on the value of identifying the problem *before* you try to implement solutions.
I also say a bit about what you'll find in the other posts.
