197: Why 2 Hours a Week is Enough Writing Time

Are you an academic who is struggling to get articles published? You only need to spend two hours per week writing to clear your publication pipeline. I know two hours doesn’t seem like enough time, but trust me - this method is more effective than your current writing strategy!   In this episode, I share why two hours of writing a week is enough. First, I demystify common beliefs about writing that hold academics back from moving the needle on their publication pipeline. Then, I explain the critical skills every professor must develop to build a sustainable relationship-based writing practice. With the proper tools, two hours of writing per week will allow you to power through your publication pipeline without sacrificing rest or career-advancing project opportunities.    For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast/197.   CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Our 12-week Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap® program helps tenure-track womxn and nonbinary professors to publish their backlog of papers so that their voice can have the impact they know is possible.
