There’s a lot of noise in academia about productivity. You’re likely bombarded with opinions about how much time you should be writing, how many publications you should produce each year, and how you’re “wasting” your time on mentoring, service, and teaching. In today’s episode — the first of a 2-part microseries — Jane explains how and why you’re using the language of productivity to punish yourself and set unrealistic expectations. She’ll also teach you how to think about your progress with more compassion. If you’ve been beating yourself up for being “slow,” this episode is for you.
