Creating a Satisfying Academic Career with Jo Van Every

A book is a big project. Depending where you mark the beginning, book writing can take years. Not only is it hard to protect the time, given all your other commitments, but it can be hard to sustain momentum.In this track, I argue that the project needs to be meaningful to sustain that motivation. I also outline a few big reasons you might we writing the book so you can figure out what combination of reasons resonates with you.Read the post here: For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterOr join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ Or follow along on Facebook here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoachI'm on Twitter/X here, but less often: twitter.com/JoVanEvery

We talk a lot about how rejection is just part of academic life. There’s lots of advice about how to deal with rejection. I want to talk about success. And the ways in which doubting your success can get in the way of taking full advantage of it. You deserve this. You belong. You are allowed to enjoy your success and use it to do the work that most attracted you to academia in the first place.

In this track I challenge the idea that coworking is about "accountability" or that you even need accountability. Writing is something you want to do. Support is something many of us need or want. I explain how coworking groups, like A Meeting With Your Writing, support you to do this work (writing) that you want to do.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/beyond-accountability-coworking/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterOr join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ Or follow along on Facebook here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach

This month’s article is by a guest author, Jamie Pei. Jamie has her own coaching business, The Messy Coach, offering workshops for institutions, individual coaching, and an intensive group coaching programme called The Messy PhD Group Coaching Hive. She is also one of the hosts for A Meeting With Your Writing, and starting this summer will be offering quarter PhD clinics for Studio members. These clinics offer group coaching and community connection for those Studio members who are working on a PhD.As you’ll see, Jamie’s approach to “productivity”, writing, and so on is very similar to mine. I hope you enjoy the article.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/radical-alternative-productivity-phd/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterOr join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ Or follow along on Facebook here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach

You may dread applying for research funding. In this track I talk about how to use your big research dreams to identify feasible projects and get the support you need to do the research that would be most important and meaningful for you. Further resources about funding:I recommend the book Getting Research Funded (published by Routledge https://www.routledge.com/Getting-Research-Funded-Five-Essential-Rules-for-Early-Career-Researchers/Khoo-Ward-ODonnell/p/book/9780367651039 ) as a guide to what to do after you’ve done some of what I suggest here.The Research Whisperer blog is also worth subscribing to. https://researchwhisperer.org/There's also a free download available on this track, find out what the Fairy Godmother has for you...Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/applying-funding/ For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach Join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk

One of the strategies I encourage people to use when planning is time-blocking. It is what I am thinking of when I talk about boundaries as one of the principle elements of a good plan. Over the years I’ve realized that there are different ways to understand what this is. In this track I say a bit about what I think is useful about it. I also address some common misconceptions about what’s required to use time-blocking effectively.

While your work is important, it isn’t the only way you contribute to the world. In the face of all the awful, your inclination may be to get more active in political or community activities not connected to your work. You still need to plan for that. The time won't magically appear.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/juggling-dystopian-times/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach Join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk
