Calm productivity for academics
“One study suggests that academics who write daily and set goals with someone weekly write nearly ten times as many pages as those without regular writing habits.” – Pat Thomson
Many academics view writing as the final step of research – something to do after the ‘real work’ is done. But the academic writing process is not just about documenting completed work. Writing is thinking, and engaging with writing throughout your project helps clarify ideas and strengthen your research outcomes.
Writing generates writing. Even if most of the early drafts end up getting deleted, you probably needed to write them to stimulate the thinking that was necessary to get to the final version.
On Writing, by Stephen King, blends memoir and practical advice, giving writers a glimpse into the creative process while offering valuable tools. From embracing authentic voice to developing a daily writing routine, King’s insights help writers—especially busy academics—cultivate a productive, disciplined approach to their craft.
