Academic Writing Amplified

There are times, like at the end of a semester, when you might put your writing aside. How do you pick it back up again with the least amount of stress and the most creative potential? Your workload ebbs and flows, and there are times (like the end of a semester) when you may put your writing aside; in fact, I recommend it. So how do you pick it back up again? If you're thinking you'll get all your grades in, finish your semester tasks, then jump right into it again, I'm asking you to reconsider! In order to build your creative potential back up and get back into writing in a way that will feel like soaring rather than slogging, you need to do a few things. First Things First: Rest and Restore Don't shake this one off. It's vitally important, not just to your health, but to the quality of your writing. We all want to create more, write more, get more done and it might seem like the best way to do that is to spend more time, more energy, do more. Not so! A life coach of mine introduced me to the "create-restore cycle". Put simply, if you want to create more, you have to rest more. These two factors need to be in balance in order for you to produce the best creations. So, in order to be ready to pick that writing practice back up and produce your best work, you need to rest and restore. What you do will look different for each person. Sleep, go for walks, read a book, take a long bath; whatever fills your cup and gives you energy, do it! And not just a little bit, do as much of it as you can. Employ whatever support structures you have at your disposal to set up true rest for yourself. "The secret key to create more is to spend more time restoring." -Cathy Mazak Ease In Slowly After your restful break, when you're ready to start writing again, don't jump in to lengthy writing sessions. Ease yourself back in slowly. On the first day, simply open your document. Look it over, get reacquainted with your project, start getting your thoughts moving again on where you'll go next. The second day, plan to write for maybe an hour, on the third day, a bit more and so on. Make a Semester Plan Finally, make sure you put some time on your calendar to do some planning. Take a look at the semester coming up and see where things might be likely to get busy. Try to map out your writing times, include some writing sprints or a retreat if you can. Be prepared with a plan, and getting back into a writing practice (and keeping it going) will be so much easier. "Embrace the ebb and flow of the semester." -Cathy Mazak Pulled in a thousand directions and can't seem to carve out time to write?

What actually "counts" as writing? When you give yourself credit for accomplishing your writing, do you only look at the number of words on a page? I say it's more than that. We spend a lot of time thinking "I should be writing," as academia pulls us in a thousand directions. But we often forget all that writing really is. It is important to re-think what "counts" as writing. Acknowledging progress on a project helps us cultivate positive feelings about our writing, which propels us forward and keeps us coming back. But, the positive feelings don't necessarily happen naturally. We need to deliberately create them. It Starts with the Pipeline Try this exercise: Get out a piece of paper and start at the true beginning of your pipeline. Write down all the things that must happen between that moment when you first get your idea for the project and starting to write the first draft. Maybe you'll need to have grant funding, maybe you'll need to conduct specific research; whatever those pieces are, articulate them for you specific project list. Now take a look at your list. All of this is writing. All of this counts. Creating Purposeful Positivity If you can work to create feelings of excitement and flow about your writing, you will want to do it, and your writing practice will sustain itself. But this only happens by careful design. "Writing does not respond well to self-doubt. It does not thrive in negativity. It dies under guilt and overwhelm." And you want to avoid writing sessions that drag, where you struggle to get words on the page and feel like you're slogging through mud. Instead, you want to soar during your writing sessions, the words flowing, feeling focused and energetic. I call that your "soar state". Here are some ways to set yourself up to soar: Think of the times when you have the most focus, when you don't have to take breaks and can keep going. Take a few days and note these times in your calendar. Once you've identified them, your mission is to guard them as your writing times. If you never feel focused and energetic (hello parents!), then just write first thing in the (working) morning. Don't check email, jump on social media or even check your to-do list. Just write for one hour. Three times a week like this will go a long way in creating positive feelings about your writing. Another way to create that soaring feeling is to write with someone. You can do this in person or virtually. Be sure to set ground rules: talk for ten minutes about what you're working on, then be quiet and get writing. You will get energy by being with other people who are focused and writing. In order to use our academic work to create the changes we want to see in our fields and in the world, we need to cultivate this positive relationship with writing. It is essential that writing feels good, and that we acknowledge forward movement towards our goals. People need to hear what you have to say, and creating a positive relationship with writing will help you to say it.

I am joined on this episode by my fabulous writing coaches, Rocío Caballero-Gill and Gina Robinson. We are talking all about the issues and stressors that are coming up the most in working with clients in our programs right now. What are you struggling with in your career? One thing we can guarantee is that you are not alone. From motivation to time management to boundaries to finding support, we are addressing all the top-of-mind issues from the fabulous womxn in our programs. Issues discussed: Logistical questions like how do I find and manage time to be able to write? How to sustain writing through proper mindset, priority setting, and boundaries. Worrying about what isn't being done, and how to find focus. Using structure and systems to create confidence and focus. Scarcity mindset and the fear of not using time 'well enough'. Digging deeper into lack of motivation to find and deal with the underlying issues. The importance of community for support, energy, and momentum. Rest, and how to structure and set up breaks to reap maximum benefit. Asking for help from all different sources and the power this holds for womxn. Clarifying priorities to stay on mission. Decision fatigue and how to avoid it. How coaching, masterminds, community groups and programs are helping our clients. Key Quotes: "People think they don't have enough time, but really what it is, is that they don't know what they're supposed to be doing." -Gina Robinson "There is this fear...I'm not using the time well enough." -Cathy Mazak "If you need a brain dump every single day, that is fine." -Rocío Caballero-Gill "You just have to trust the system…" -Rocío Caballero-Gill "Women talking about what they need is very powerful." -Cathy Mazak "Every time you have to make a decision, it costs you." -Cathy Mazak "Resting makes you a better academic and a better human." -Cathy Mazak Pulled in a thousand directions and can't seem to carve out time to write?

The pandemic didn't change the course of academia; it has amplified the issues that were already there. As higher ed systems crumble, it's time for you to decide your own course of action. As one of my favorite books, "The Slow Professor", explains: the University system is deeply ingrained in the history of capitalism. The path the University is on wasn't created by the pandemic, it simply sped up the journey down that path. More demands have been made on professors' time, more unpaid admin work expected, the exploitation of adjunct and grad student labor has become prevalent, support roles have been eliminated; we have been seeing the capitalist system at work, squeezing us for every drop of labor it can. When the pandemic hit, the process sped up. Now we're seeing furloughs, lay offs, universities questioning the idea of tenure, institutions closing altogether. Higher Ed is in crisis. But what does it mean for you? I want to suggest that you get to decide. Creation and the Upsides of This Moment While it's true that we are at a crossroads right now in academia, I want to encourage you to remember what your career is truly about: creation. The purpose of your career is to bring something new, something unique, into the world, documented through your writing. So here are 3 things to remember in this moment: 1. You are not your institution. The place where you do your work is merely the container, the vehicle through which you bring your contribution to the world. Containers can take many different forms; you don't have to stay stuck inside one that doesn't fit. 2. When creation drives your career, milestones are met as a by-product. The details of institutional requirements for tenure and promotion don't matter; you'll meet and exceed them by focusing on the creation and working for your own milestones and goals. If that doesn't happen, it's a sign that your institution is not the right fit for you. 3. Day-to-day life must be focused around the creation. The creation of your unique body of work is the point. Teaching, service, advising, committee work; it all needs to be arranged in service of the creation. "What you are doing as an academic is, in essence, an act of creation." Saving Yourself You have an opportunity right now, in this moment, while institutions are faltering and systems are crumbling, to remake yourself. It's up to you. We've been conditioned to a scarcity mindset in academia. We've been taught to believe that we should just be grateful for the positions we have, and not to question or push back. But we do have a choice. To save yourself in this moment, you have to believe in yourself. I'm giving you permission. Here's what it looks like: You build a career based on a clear academic mission, refined over time and built by you for the people impacted by your work, regardless of your institution. This will become your legacy. You have time, energy, and financial freedom. You have space in your day for the deep work that contributes to your personal mission. You set your own goals and milestones that support your vision (and blow by institutional milestones along the way). "You're allowed to believe in yourself and your writing." If 2020 revealed your institution's true colors, if you're questioning your role in academia, if you are ready to remake your career and organize your life around your unique contribution, don't miss the chance to sign up for Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap. We'll help you navigate these questions and give you tools to create the career and life you want in 2021. Values and Systems Achieving this transformation for yourself might sound dreamy or intangible, but I promise you it is not. It's about 2 things: values and systems. Values. If you want to remake yourself in 2021 you have to be willing to learn a new way: your way. Take a moment to mourn the losses of 2020, then sit down and articulate what your actual values are. What is important to you? What do you want your career to look like? How do you want your life to feel? What is vital to bringing your creation into the world? What do you want to cut away? Systems. Once you figure out your values, you need systems to bring them to fruition. We teach all 3 of the vital systems you need in place and how to implement them in our Navigate course. Here's an overview of what they are and how to use them: Time Management Systems: Are you automating as much as possible? Are you using technology to create and support boundaries around your time? Are you using templates and workflows as much as possible? Is your mindset in the right place concerning your time and boundaries? Writing Systems: Do you have a multi-layered ecosystem of writing practices? Do you have the tools in place to help you move your writing forward, and to recover from a writing break? Do you have a healthy mindset around your writing? Pipeline and Planning Systems: Do your projects flow smoothly through your pipeline? Do you have a strategy in place to manage the flow of your pipeline? Are you using publications strategically to bring your creation into the world in the way you want to see it? "We cannot collectively remake academia if we keep believing in scarcity, in suffering, and in settling." Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap If you're ready to remake yourself in 2021 but you don't know where to start, get on the waiting list now for Navigate. We will support you as you make decisions, and give you tools to create the career you want. Believe in yourself, and take action!

We have an opportunity, at any time, but especially at this moment in time, to rise from the ashes of what has come before to remake our careers and our lives as academics. On the next few episodes of The Academic Womxn Amplified I'm talking about how to rise from the ashes of 2020 to make 2021 the year you take control and redefine your career. Why does writing often fall to the bottom of the list? How can you rethink your vision, mission and goals to help you get your work into the world in a way that feels right to you? We have the opportunity at this moment in time to rebuild, reimagine and reinvent our academic lives. During Tough Times, Writing Suffers I know what it is to have writing fall to the bottom of the list, or completely off a cliff, during trying and traumatic times. While I was going up for tenure, my 10-month old son became seriously ill. For a solid week I was in the hospital with him, and completely out of contact with my students. For months afterward, I suffered from total exhaustion which very nearly put me in the hospital. During the 2017-18 academic year, Hurricane Maria hit and devastated Puerto Rico. Personal and national trauma resulted in a way that is hard to convey to anyone who has not lived through natural disaster. From these times of intense stress, I learned two things that have informed my continued career and that can be drawn on during the current times: 1. I have to rest. Rest has to be a priority, it can't be an afterthought. My whole career does not work without rest. 2. Priorities get very clear when tragedy strikes. Tragedy snaps our vision back onto what is truly important to us. When that happens, remember what those priorities are, don't lose sight of them when things go back to "normal". In both of these cases, I moved into what I have dubbed "minimum viable semester". The bare minimum of what had to get done was all that got done. Writing, understandably, moved to the bottom of the list. It wasn't feasible to keep up on a robust practice. Moving Past Minimum Viable Semester I've been there, in minimum viable semester mode. And we have all been there in these last months as Covid has completely changed the landscape of academia. In March, we were paddling as hard as we could just to keep above water. Here we are in November and not a whole lot has changed. So I propose that it's time to take stock of where we are, change the vision of where we're going, and move past minimum viable semester. "It's time to soar into 2021 like a phoenix." The Phoenix Rising This is the right time to remake your career vision, because the world needs your contribution! To rise like a phoenix in 2021, consider these actions: Complete a Values Inventory. Have you been glorifying busy? Accepting that overwork and exhaustion are part of the package? Working toward someone else's idea of milestones? Define your mission. What is your personal, specific desire for your work in the world? Align your work to that mission. Shift your milestones to reflect your values (tenure doesn't have to be your milestone!). Create Systems. Creating individualized systems supports your vision and helps your writing withstand future hard times. They are adaptable. They save you time and energy and help you maintain boundaries They support your mission and values. They help you keep your writing at the center of your career. Become Part of the Phoenix Cohort.

Keeping your relationship with writing peaceful and productive means prioritizing it during your most energetic and focused times of day. I'm coining a new term for those times to get us into the right mindset for the work. Getting writing done is a key component to the academic life, but it doesn't have to be a slog. Creating a positive relationship with your writing while also doing your best work is so much easier when you tune in to those times of your day when your energy and focus soar, and you're ready to take on the world. Encouraging you to use those times and helping you find out when they are for you (everyone is different!) has always been a main tenet of my coaching. Up until now, I've been borrowing a term for these times during the day, but it wasn't quite fitting my vision anymore, so I coined a new one! Here's the backstory on what "tiger time" is, how I discovered it, and why I wanted to change it to better fit our needs as academic writers. Tiger Time When I was first building my business, I listened to a lot of entrepreneurial podcasts. One of them was "Online Marketing Made Easy" with Amy Porterfield. She had a lot of great information, but something that really resonated with me was her idea of "tiger time". She talked about using her best times of day, those when she was most focused, energized and driven, to tackle content creation. This spoke to me, and as I have often done, I took this idea from the entrepreneurial world and molded it to help academics through my coaching business. Using the times during our week when we are freshest, most focused, have the most energy and drive really moves the needle for writing. "I can move mountains between 7am and 11am." -Cathy Mazak Time to Make a Change As we've moved through 2020, it's become apparent that it's time for me to move away from using someone else's term, and specifically this term, for these focused times. Here's why: Tiger King. People started asking me if tiger time had something to do with a show that has had a big moment in the pop culture spotlight in 2020. The answer to that question was a big NO. Tiger Mom. People also began asking me if tiger time had something to do with a book called Tiger Mom. Again, no. Academic Branding. I've been coaching you all on how to build your academic brands, and this presented an opportunity to do that myself. I want my coaching business to project a certain set of values, a certain image of how we go about writing. And it doesn't emphasize fierceness, or struggle in any way. Time to create something new! "We created different ways...for people to create that feeling of drive and energy that we want them to have during their writing times." -Cathy Mazak Soar States and Soar Sessions In keeping with our vision, we wanted to give you aspirational words for the experience of finding, creating, and utilizing those feelings of energy, drive and creativity. If you're not careful, your writing times can feel like slogging. You write 10 words and delete 5. You feel like you're walking through mud. Uphill. All you want to do is stop. But we want your writing time to feel like soaring. You're not desperately flapping your wings to keep going, you're moving along peacefully, supported. You aren't struggling, you're in flow. Your forward motion is fast, and smooth. So here it is! Our new term for those times when you are in a zone of creativity, energy and drive is: Soar States. When you are utilizing your own personal Soar State you are experiencing a Soar Session. You're in the zone! Writing is flowing, and the work you produce is high quality. Soar Sessions come about in two ways: Tapping into your personal Soar States to take advantage of your most creative, energetic and focused times. Co-writing. Writing in community with others helps create that sense of energy and drive at any time. I can't wait to dive into these ideas with you as we continue to learn more about how to advance our careers through writing without burning out or breaking down! "Think about the time of day that is your 'soar state'." -Cathy Mazak Big News for Black Friday! Our Navigate program will have a special enrollment period, from Black Friday to Cyber Monday!

Making a change in your academic career can be scary, but is it dangerous? On this episode I'm helping you recognize when deciding not to make a change might be the danger. I'm an avid podcast listener. I recently heard a story on the How I Built This podcast about an investment banker whose doctor told her that if something didn't change, she was going to have a stroke, or a heart attack. Staying in that job, for her, was exceedingly dangerous. This got me thinking about our careers in academia, and dangerous versus scary career moves. Making a change, speaking up, or creating new boundaries in your career can feel scary. At times, these things might even feel like they are dangerous. Will I lose my job? What if my income changes? What about my identity as 'an academic'? But I am here to tell you, that staying in a toxic, frustrating or overwhelming situation just because it is scary to leave or create change is where the true danger lies. "So although it's scary to leave, it's not actually dangerous to leave; it's dangerous to stay." If you're feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or anxious in your career, here are 3 questions to ask yourself to begin to assess what your next steps should be, even if it feels scary to take them. 1. What specifically is making me feel this way? You might feel general malaise or anxiety, but the first step is to get very specific about what is making you feel that way. Write it down, make a list. See if you can zero in on the thing (or things) that is making you feel the way you do. 2. Can I change this thing? Take stock of what you're in control of, and what increased influence you might have if you are willing to step up or speak out. It might feel scary to do these things, but it could be dangerous to your health to stay quiet. "You deserve [for] your career to be great, not just good enough." 3. What Have I Created and What Am I Creating Now? I've talked about this idea before, and I'll continue to: you and your work are separate from your institution. You are making contributions to your field that are uniquely yours. Take stock of those things, spell them out. Is your current situation helping you to bring that to fruition, or is it stifling? Once you have the answers to these questions down in black and white, take some time to reflect. Remember that staying in a situation where you feel undue pressure, stress or expectations that don't align with your personal mission can become an actual danger. Make a plan, even if that involves taking steps that seem scary at first. Looking to find more time in your busy schedule to write? I've got you covered.
