Autonomy and flexibility are high on the list of things that attracted you to academia in the first place. 

And yet, in order to really have those things you need to be extra good at setting and negotiating boundaries.

As you progress through your academic career, you accumulate projects that you didn't get around to finishing. 

Conference papers you meant to turn into articles. Articles that got stalled and abandoned. That kind of thing. 

You don't have to finish all of them, but you also don't want to just abandon them. 

In this track I suggest away to approach that pile of UFOs, make some initial decisions, and resume work on one of them.

Is perfectionism making it hard to you to write at all? 

This is a bit of a pep talk that might help with that.

A response to a query from someone who had a book contract and a sabbatical to work on it and was feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to proceed.

Most academics anticipate summer writing. 

Many find it difficult to keep writing when things get busy again in the autumn. 

In this track, I propose rethinking your goal for your summer writing in a way that sets you up to keep writing when the kind of time available changes.

Inspired by something I read about the difficulty of work-life balance when your work is aligned with your purpose, I propose that what feels like a struggle with work-life balance might actually about the balance among the various kinds of work you do in your academic career.

Some thoughts on "accountability" and why it might be counterproductive to doing the kind of creative work that academic research and writing is. 

My hope is that these thoughts may help you reflect on your own practices to determine what might work (better) for you.

Are you letting the public perception of academics as "having the summer off" constrain how you do your research and writing, especially in the summer? 

Are you also finding it hard to take a real vacation? 

Let your neighbours think what they like!
