Podcasts about Making Time

Have you ever looked at your calendar, blocked out a few hours to write, and then… nothing? The blank screen stares back, your cursor blinks mockingly, and you start wondering—how long should this take? Why is this so hard to estimate? In this episode, I'm talking all about one of the biggest hidden obstacles to academic writing success: estimating how long writing tasks actually take. Whether it's a book chapter, a literature review, or a single figure caption, understanding time-to-task is crucial if you want to make real progress on your publications without burning out. If you're tired of missing due dates, underestimating tasks, and wondering why academic writing feels like pushing a boulder uphill, this episode is for you. Listen now, and let's reframe how you think about your time and writing. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

Are you stuck in a cycle of trying out new project management tools—Trello, Asana, Notion—only to abandon them weeks later? You're not alone. No tool will save your writing or publication pipeline if you haven't first developed core project management skills. In this episode, I explain why building project management skills must come before adopting a project management tool. If you're feeling overwhelmed with your writing tasks, due dates, or collaborative projects, it's not because you haven't found the “right” app—it's because foundational skills like discernment and time management aren't fully developed yet. Before you invest energy (and money) in the latest software, you need clarity on how you work and how to support your writing with solid workflows. Tune in to learn how to build the academic project management skills that will advance your writing and publication projects, allowing you to select a project management tool that works with you, not against you.

Katelyn joined Navigate under unusual circumstances: she was trying to figure out the transition into her assistant professor role, after having been a doctoral student and a full-time researcher at the same institution. She wanted support figuring out her academic mission (especially how it would be different from her advisor's and P.I.'s), and how she could publish her backlog of papers while carving out her own research area. Within the supportive Navigate group, she found that. Though her circumstances were different, her core problems were the same as the other in her cohort: clarity of mission, holding boundaries, and solving writing problems versus tasks.   More about Katelyn: Katelyn Carr is an Assistant Professor at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo.

Universities have been around for over a thousand years. They've persisted through war, famine, plague, natural disasters, vast shifts in people's beliefs about them and what they are for.  That's because universities are self-preserving. They adapt.   Look right now at how your university is adapting. Are they partnering with you to solve problems? Are they saying “keep your heads down and pivot”? Are they saying “don't worry we've got this” but aren't actually in conversation with you about how? Are they placing the burden of adapting squarely on YOUR shoulders? In 2025, you need to think carefully about your relationship to your institution and DECIDE what it is going to be. Here are some questions to help you get started: What is my responsibility to my institution, and what is its responsibility to me? What are my values? What are my institution's values (the ones it is showing you right now, not the ones in the strategic plan)? How are these aligned or misaligned? If your institution is not bending over backwards to save you, how much energy should you be using to save it? There is no one “right” way to relate to your university. YOU get to decide. The university and your position in it is just one container through which to do the work. YOU get to decide your relationship to the container.   We're receiving applications for our next cohort of Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap®!

If you constantly feel behind, stretched thin, or like there's never enough time in the day, this episode is for you.

Saturday morning me sat at my workspace, juggling client documents for The Fitness FYX alongside content strategy for my new venture, The Clarity Collective. It hit me—this exact overwhelm is what 99.9% of my clients experience when chasing fat loss goals. In this episode we dive into:• The exact time management trap preventing your body from releasing fat (even when you're "doing everything right") • Why reducing training frequency might accelerate your progress when life gets chaotic • The counterintuitive approach that lets you eat more food while still seeing body composition changes • How strategic delegation transforms both your business and body (hint: it's the same skill)The Reality Behind "Having No Time" • The West Village hustle that has you measuring days in back-to-back meetings while simultaneously tracking macros to the gram • The hidden physiological battle between cortisol and fat release happening when you've booked yourself from 7am to 9pm • Why your body won't release fat when you're consistently below 6 hours of sleep (and why that's actually protective) • The unexpected connection between decision fatigue and weekend overeating that sabotages Monday's weigh-inThe Transformation Process (Slowing Down to Speed Up) • Reducing strength training to two strategic full-body sessions instead of the "required" four (and why the 17,000 daily NYC steps make all the difference) • Creating a standardized meal framework that eliminates decision fatigue without feeling restrictive • Implementing science-backed stress management techniques you can do between meetings (the big seven lymphatic protocol takes just 5 minutes) • The mindset shift around asking for help that both type-A women and entrepreneurs resist most (yet changes everything)The New Performance Horizon • Maintaining results becomes almost automatic when you've mastered stacking your physiological deck instead of fighting against it • The unexpected confidence that emerges when you've created a system that handles both busy seasons and fat loss phases • How real clients transformed their relationship with time and food simultaneously (water-to-tequila ratio and all) • The lighthouse leadership philosophy that positions you to guide others only after you've mastered guiding yourselfThis conversation reminds us that success isn't about perfectionism—it's about precision in the areas that actually move the needle. Whether you're juggling multiple businesses or simply trying to balance career ambitions with health goals, this episode offers the practical insights and emotional permission to stop chasing time and start creating it.Looking for more on this topic?

In this episode, I dive deeper into the ongoing impact of the current U.S. administration on higher education, particularly focusing on the financial pressures universities face due to federal funding freezes. I discuss how these cuts are threatening the foundation of academic research and what academics can do to take charge of their careers amid this uncertainty. Rather than fueling fear, I aim to provide practical strategies for overcoming these challenges. I encourage you to stay connected to your purpose and mission in academia, even if it means adapting to new ways of doing your work. Are you ready to regain control of your academic career and navigate these tumultuous times with confidence? Tune in for valuable insights and actionable advice.

In the concluding episode of the podcast series, Should I Quit Academia, I address how the current US president and administration are impacting higher education. From federal cuts affecting grants and research to reductions in funding to institutions and students, a lot of disruption is happening in academia.  During this time of uncertainty, it may seem like quitting academia is more appealing than ever. I give you a series of questions to ask yourself to see if a career pivot is the right choice. My goal is to help you make a decision based on a belief in your value, not fear. The stability of academia is an illusion, and recognizing it will help you protect yourself and move forward with clarity and intention.  Do I think higher ed is going anywhere? No. However, it is clear that significant changes are happening and will continue to happen during this presidential term. I encourage you to reflect on my questions in this episode and think about how you want to impact your field and get your voice out into the world.

What does it take to lead luxury fashion for two decades—then make an unexpected pivot? My guest this week, celebrated fashion designer Clare Waight Keller, knows first hand. After shaping the vision at Chloé and Givenchy—where she famously created the Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress—Clare stepped away from the Paris catwalk to become Uniqlo's Global Creative Director.In this episode, Clare reveals why this was more than a career shift —it was a statement of intent. With luxury fashion prices soaring 52% since 2020, Clare's new mission is to show that great everyday design can be accessible to everyone, and that in the right hands “fast fashion” can be reimagined as slow fashion.Clare also takes us under the hood of her creative and decision making process—sharing why trusting her instincts is her superpower, why discomfort fuels her best work, and how seeing time as her most precious resource has shaped every decision she's made. We get to the truth behind why there are so few female fashion directors, what it was like to work with the Duchess of Sussex, and why Uniqlo's home-base of Tokyo is her favourite fashion capital yet.Clare Waight Keller is a revered force in fashion, and her journey—rooted in instinct, embracing change and long-term strategic thinking—offers inspiration to anyone forging their own path to just right.If you've ever wanted a peek behind the curtain of design creativity, are curious about how fashion is changing, or to hear from a woman at the top of her game in an industry dominated by men, this one's for you.

Are you struggling with publications and wondering if changing universities will solve your writing problems? Think again! In this episode, I dive into the truth behind the misconception that a new university position will magically unclog your publication pipeline. I've worked with professors from various institutions who have held every type of position. I've seen first-hand that the real key to unlocking your writing success is not in your external circumstances but in how you approach your writing practice and time management. Lessening your teaching load or switching to a more research-focused position isn't going to help you publish more. If you don't address your writing practice, your issues will follow you no matter what job you take.  If you're tired of struggling with a clogged pipeline and are ready to regain control of your academic writing, this episode is for you. Learn how building a sustainable writing practice and focusing on professional development will make it easier to get your voice out into the world so you can influence your field.

I'm excited to welcome Oliver Burkeman back to the show to discuss his new book, Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts. You can find his previous conversation on the show here. Oliver is a journalist and author best known for 4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. His latest book offers a practical, reflective guide to shifting our mindset about time, control, and productivity through daily meditations. In this conversation, we cover: The Through Line from 4,000 Weeks: How Meditations for Mortals builds on Oliver's previous work by focusing on action and the gap between knowing and doing. The Illusion of Control vs. Agency: Why we often seek control over our lives and how accepting our limitations can actually increase our capacity for meaningful action. Breaking Free from Productivity Debt: How many of us start each day feeling behind and what we can do to change that mindset. Imperfectionism and Action-Taking: How embracing imperfection can help us get more done and reduce procrastination. Kayaks vs. Super Yachts: A powerful metaphor for navigating life with flexibility rather than expecting smooth, predictable sailing. The Paradox of Productivity Techniques: Why strategies like the Pomodoro Technique can be helpful—when used as tools rather than salvation from feeling overwhelmed. The Value of Small Decisions and Next Steps: How making peace with uncertainty and taking the next available action can lead to lasting change. Oliver's insights will challenge the way you think about productivity, time management, and how to make space for what truly matters.

Higher education is in crisis! In today's episode, I explore how academia has been entangled in a fast-paced capitalist model, exploiting faculty and prioritizing output over meaningful academic work. I challenge professors to confront these unsustainable practices and take action to remake and reform their careers.  As a scholar, you can break free from the constraints and burnout cycle, redefine your academic mission, and focus on the creation of knowledge rather than institutional requirements. I encourage you to reflect on your values and focus on developing systems that align with the direction you want your academic career to take. If you feel like you are constantly being shouldered with more tasks and are tired of feeling overworked and overwhelmed, this episode is for you.  For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.   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. Get on the waitlist here!

How do we stay creative — when there's so much to do and so much at stake?Today I'm joined by writer, coach, and retreat leader Maria Bowler for a practical and philosophical conversation about:The difference between productivity & creativityWhy we don't want to focus on “being efficient” or “maximizing ROI”How to actually be present (without feeling like you're just being told to “be present”)The pain of alienation & how it permeates our daily livesDistinguishing between creative friction & oppressive frictionWhy creating more isn't about doing lessHow to stretch time, lose track of it, and be with yourself beyond the clockWhat Maria thinks about social media this year If you love this conversation, make sure to get yourself a copy of Maria's book, Making Time!

In today's episode, I want to challenge how we think about our academic careers. For many of us, our professional lives are heavily defined by the rules of the institution or "container" through which we work—whether it's a graduate program, a tenure-track position, or unreasonable requirements from the university. I want you to flip that way of thinking altogether. Instead of letting your institution or the promise of tenure dictate your path, you can apply your scholarly work to a container that better suits your academic mission statement and career goals. You are not the container, and your knowledge, skills, and research can be leveraged in multiple ways so that you can create a career that is fulfilling and truly aligns with who you are and what you value.  If you are frustrated with your current position or are curious about quitting academia, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to separate your work from the container and the benefits of pursuing a different career path.
