250: [Writing Practice Series] Why 2 Hours A Week Is Enough Writing Time [RE-RELEASE 197]


Listen Later

If you are a frequent podcast listener, you know I advocate for writing just two hours per week to make significant progress on your writing and publications. However, many scholars struggle with the idea that such small blocks of time will make a difference.

In today's episode, I discuss why two hours of writing per week is not only sufficient but often preferable to trying to carve out large blocks of time. I challenge common beliefs that more time is necessary to make progress on writing projects and offer insights on how to adjust your mindset and foster a more sustainable writing practice.

If you are struggling to find time to write or feel overwhelmed by your publication pipeline, this episode is for you. Tune in for practical tips to boost your academic writing and productivity within a two-hour weekly time block.
