After a long hiatus, the DCT podcast returns with a special guest: Dr. Joseph Currier, PI of the Spiritual and Religious Competencies Project. 

Welcome to season 2! 

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted daily life. What is going on? How do we cope with stress during this turbulent time?

1. Tell you how you have been betrayed by your writing education. 2. Describe three principles of psychological science that can be hammered into sure-fire writing quality interventions, and  3.

NEW! Anonymous Q&A survey link: https://kent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3f7YdZhu6wGNJiZ In this episode, I will… 1.     Differentiate between the factors that contribute to writing more and the interventions that will make you write more. 2.     Answer the debate about whether or not you need daily scheduled writing time. 3.     Conclude with practical advice on writing more that you can use right away!

In this first of three episodes on writing, I will… 1. Try to give you a ‘quick win' before we ever get to the foundational episodes on writing more and writing better. 2. Inflict many of my opinions about writing on you—we'll call them “Joelpinions” 3. Aspire to whet your appetite for the next two episodes on writing more and writing better.  NEW!

In this episode, I will…   1.     Promise that this is my last podcast on productivity and time management for a while…it's time to get to the topic of writing. 2.     Tell you my story of rediscovering the value of academic planners.  3.     And finally explain how to use your planner.   You must email me to get more notes, references, etc. This is too niche to spend a long time on show notes.

In this episode, I will…    1.     Tell you a delightful fictitious story that illustrates what I'm talking about. 2.     Summarize 10 psychological principles that support using a productivity and time management system, and  3.     Proffer provocative productivity platitudes.   You must email me to get more notes, references, etc. This is too niche to spend a long time on show notes.

In this episode, I will… 1.     Tell you what I have in common with notable productivity gurus. 2.     Define productivity and time management 3.     Detour through the history and systems of productivity in America  4.     And claim to identify 3 principles from psychological science that help explain the success of productivity and time-management systems. You must email me to get more notes, references, etc. This is too niche to spend a long time on show notes.

In this hastily recorded episode, I report on the information presented at the 2020 Midwinter Meeting of CUDCP. There was a DCT survey and a student survey on the finances (e.g., stipends, expenses, debt) of students in doctoral clinical psychology programs. Email me for show notes and look for final reports from the presenters in the future (e.g., publications?).

Raise some of own questions using a metaphor 4. Provide suggestions for what you should do https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337399121_The_Enhanced_Examination_for_Professional_Practice_in_Psychology_A_Viable_Approach

In these 2 episodes, I will:  1. Disambiguate “balance” to consider what exactly work-life balance is 2. Cannibalize some writing from the APA self-study I just wrote to prove that health service psychology is doing better than other areas of doctoral education with respect to burnout 3. Climb on the bandwagon of a new approach to understanding work-life balance that I thought I made up… I guess there are no new ideas. And,  4. List some specific things that you can do to improve your work-life balance. If you want citations for my sources, email me!
