Note that I have an error in the episode; the Fall Writing Planning Workshops are Aug. 21 and 25 (not 26!).
If you’ve ever felt like writing goal-setting only leaves you feeling behind, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why so many traditional goal-setting methods fail academic writers—and what you can do instead. I share a framework I teach in my Flourish course called good, better, best goals, which gives you a flexible, reality-based way to define progress. Whether you’re drafting a book, revising an article, or juggling multiple projects, this method helps you stay motivated and realistic without giving up on your ambitions.
I also walk you through how we use this framework inside the Flourish course, and how you can start applying it on your own right now. And if you’re craving a little structure heading into the semester, join me for one of my free Fall Writing Planning Workshops later this month. We’ll use the good, better, best method to build a fall writing plan that actually fits your real life—interruptions and all. It's a perfect way to test out the approach before committing to anything longer term.
