Progress feels so good!

Hey Reader, I'm riding high today! There's nothing quite like making progress on a huge project. On the heels of a family road trip, I hosted a virtual writing retreat this week. Between the 4 of us major progress was made across multiple projects! YAY! I figured out a new organizational structure for a book project and revised the first 2 chapters. Another person made strides in redesigning a course, and another found decided a journal and started drafting an article from their dissertation!

If you're looking for more structured support with project momentum, my Project Planning Intensive helps faculty map out sustainable progress systems for their biggest academic projects and the Productivity Pathfinder provides support for sustainable productivity systems. P.P.S. Hit reply just for a check-in. I love hearing from you - what you're working on and what you've been up to. :)

Hey there, fellow faculty! Remember your first day as a new professor? That mix of excitement and utter bewilderment? Well, let me take you back to mine...

No task list, no guidance on time management. Just me, wondering what on earth I was supposed to do next. Sound familiar? If you're nodding along, you're...
