Do you want to take on new projects or tackle more writing and publications but feel like the number one thing holding you back is time? What if I told you capacity isn't fixed, you can build it? Today, I'm sharing what capacity building means and how intentionally growing your capacity can help you do more of the work that matters without burning out. In this episode, I share my own experiences juggling personal and professional responsibilities. I share vivid, real-life examples of how my capacity expanded over time, from parenting multiple children to managing a large farm business alongside my academic coaching career. I'll also address common fears about timing big career moves, especially the myth that you have to wait until you have more capacity before committing to growth. If you've been hesitating to push forward with your writing or career goals because you feel maxed out, this episode is for you. Listen in to shift your mindset around capacity, learn practical ways to grow it, and get inspired to take action now because waiting for the “perfect” time only holds you back.

Plusieurs d'entre nous vont s'entendre sur ce qui est le plus important au sein d'une organisation soit le temps consacré à la vision, à la stratégie, à la consolidation des équipes de travail et au développement des compétences. Toutefois, c'est rare que cela représente une urgence, un objectif qui doit absolument être réalisé le jour même. Dans notre esprit, il est toujours possible de reporter ces activités à plus tard et surtout si une urgence opérationnelle en vient à se pointer. La conséquence est que le temps de qualité consacré à ce qui est important se retrouve compromis. En négligeant ainsi ce qui est important, des problématiques en viennent à émerger, problématiques qui vont donner justement lieu à de nouvelles urgences opérationnelles Par mon coaching, j'ai pu constater comment cette dynamique devient récurrente et compromet le développement de plusieurs leaders qui ont pourtant beaucoup de potentiel. Le coaché ne parvient pas à se créer un espace de travail suffisant grand et stable pour progresser. Il éteint des feux au quotidien, ne voyant pas comment il pourrait faire autrement. Les devoirs liés à son coaching ne sont pas réalisés. Les séances de coaching se retrouvent souvent reportées. J'ai conçu cet épisode autour du livre Making Time for strategy afin de pouvoir aider à protéger cet espace de travail consacré à l'important non-urgent. Ce livre ne parle pas de stratégie ou de développement. Il offre des conseils pratiques et facilement applicables pour ceux qui veulent progresser et aider leur organisation à progresser. Il est enfin temps de consacrer une attention prioritaire à l'important non-urgent.

Drawing from extensive client experience and personal examples, she provides a systematic framework for evaluating revision feedback that honors both scholarly integrity and practical publishing realities, while acknowledging that sometimes walking away from a publication opportunity represents the most appropriate professional choice.

Do you know what to say "yes" to and what to say "no" to? In this episode, Garrett discusses two main points from the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown. The first point is about making decisions based on whether something is a 'heck yes' or not. Garrett encourages listeners to prioritize their time and say no to things that are not a strong yes. The second point is about zero-based scheduling, where Garrett advises starting from scratch and intentionally choosing what to include in the schedule. He emphasizes the importance of being intentional with time and not letting pride or laziness dictate the schedule.TakeawaysPrioritize your time and say no to things that are not a 'heck yes'Start from scratch when scheduling and intentionally choose what to includeDon't let pride or laziness dictate your scheduleChapters00:00 Making Time for What Matters: The 'Heck Yes' Principle13:53 Starting from Scratch: Zero-Based Scheduling17:36 Overcoming Pride and Laziness in Scheduling⭐️ Rate & Review:If this episode challenged or encouraged you, leave a 5-star review and share it with another Christian agent who needs to hear this message.

If you're ready to move into your next academic season with clarity and intention, this episode is for you.

Time management expert Anna Dearmon Kornick shares how personality affects our schedulesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Are you struggling to get back into academic writing after a break? Or maybe you're afraid to change your writing schedule because you think you'll lose momentum. In this episode, I'll show you how to step away from your writing without derailing your progress and how to return to it without losing your rhythm. In this episode, I explore the concept of writing off-ramps and on-ramps—a metaphor (and practical toolset) for how to put your writing down with intention and pick it back up with ease. Whether you're heading into a planned vacation or returning from an unexpected pause, learning to manage transitions is a key part of building a sustainable academic writing practice. You'll learn how to exit your writing flow gently, leave strategic breadcrumbs for your future self, and design a smooth, flexible re-entry that supports your long-term goals without burnout or self-judgment. If you're craving a writing practice that feels stable, resilient, and empowering, this episode is a must-listen. Stop treating breaks like setbacks, and learn the tools and mindset you need to turn your writing pauses into powerful pivots.

What if the reason you haven't written your novel has nothing to do with how many hours are in your day?"I don't have time to write" might be the most common excuse that stops aspiring authors before they even start. But here's what I've learned after working with hundreds of writers… It's not about how much time you have that matters. It's about what you do with your limited time that counts.In this episode, you'll hear from three busy writers who had every legitimate reason to put their writing dreams on hold—yet didn't. Meet Maddie, a mom of four kids aged one to six who wrote her first draft while juggling pregnancy, a newborn, and a copywriting career. Rhonda, a clinical pharmacist who transitioned from competing in 14-hour triathlons to writing an 80,000-word manuscript. And Mark, a former college administrator, worried it was too late in life to learn how to write a novel. None of them found magical extra hours in their day. Instead, they discovered something far more powerful: how to make their limited writing time more effective.In this episode, you'll learn:[03:00] How a mom of four young children completed her first draft in just six months of actual writing time, including taking a year-long break for pregnancy and a newborn, without losing momentum[06:25] Why one debut author discovered that following a proven framework didn't create a cookie-cutter novel—it actually freed him to be more creative and original[09:35] The mindset shift that helped a 45-year-old clinical pharmacist transition from grueling 14-hour triathlons to completing her first 80,000-word novel[13:20] Why having limited writing time can actually make you a more effective writer, when you know exactly what to write in each sessionReady to stop using "no time" as your excuse?

Episode Description: It's easy to tell ourselves we'll move “when things calm down.” But let's be honest—life rarely slows down on its own. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the all or nothing mindset that keeps so many of us from moving our bodies in a way that actually feels supportive. Whether you're in a busy season, feeling low on energy, or just trying to figure out how movement can realistically fit into your day, this is your reminder that it doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. We'll explore why movement is more than a tool for physical health. It's a way to reset, refocus, and reconnect with yourself. And yes, even five minutes counts. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain tired, this episode is full of gentle encouragement to help you rethink your approach and make movement work for you. Key Takeaways: Reframe your relationship with exercise by focusing on how it makes you feel, not how it should look. Let go of the pressure to do long workouts—small, consistent movement adds up. Discover simple ways to find time to move, even on your busiest days. Use physical activity as a tool to boost energy and work through stress or emotion. Make movement feel approachable and aligned with your current season of life. Movement doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful. Sometimes the win is simply showing up. Let this be your invitation to move with kindness, with curiosity, and most of all, with the reminder that you're allowed to make space for yourself—even in the busiest seasons.

In this practical summer organization episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley introduces a systematic approach to managing academic conference logistics, planning, and participation. She shares her streamlined method for transforming the often chaotic world of conference attendance into a manageable, strategic process that saves time and reduces stress throughout the academic year. Christine opens by acknowledging the common academic struggle with conference management chaos - missed deadlines for desired conferences, last-minute scrambling for hotel reservations, lost abstracts, and the tendency to attend conferences out of habit rather than strategic professional development. Her solution emerged from recognizing that summer provides the ideal window for systematic conference planning when academic schedules allow for thoughtful decision-making. As someone who attends approximately four conferences annually, all requiring travel and significant logistical coordination, Christine developed this maintenance system to ensure she presents at conferences aligned with her current research interests while avoiding the stress of deadline-driven panic decisions. She emphasizes that this process typically requires only about an hour of focused work, making it accessible even for busy academics.

Are you constantly being asked to do more than your role requires because others around you aren't stepping up? You might be getting pulled into a leadership vacuum. In this final episode of the Leadership Series, I define what a leadership vacuum is and explain why so many mid-career academics—especially those in middle-management roles—get pulled into these gaps. Whether you're a department chair, PI, or program director, it's easy to start taking on responsibilities that aren't technically yours, particularly when leadership above you is weak or absent.

What do your actions say about your faith? Jesse Cope dives into a powerful challenge from his pastor: if someone watched how you lived your daily life as a spouse, parent, or Christian, would they actually want what you have? This question cuts to the heart of authenticity in our faith journeys.The disconnect between what we profess and how we allocate our time speaks volumes. Many believers give hours to social media, sports, and entertainment while claiming they have no energy left for their families or spiritual disciplines. Jesse makes the provocative point that this misalignment of priorities is its own form of unfaithfulness – perhaps not physical infidelity, but giving our best to things rather than the people and purposes God has called us to prioritize.Through an exploration of Revelation 20, we confront the reality that believers will be judged "according to their deeds." This isn't about earning salvation, but rather how our earthly choices impact our eternal experience, connecting directly to Jesus's teaching about storing treasures in heaven. The podcast also challenges listeners to consider persecuted Christians worldwide when forming political opinions, particularly regarding conflicts in the Middle East where believers face imprisonment, torture, and execution for their faith.The episode weaves in powerful historical examples through Medal of Honor recipients' stories and accounts from Fox's Book of Martyrs, providing sobering context for understanding religious freedom and the high cost many have paid for their convictions. These narratives serve as both inspiration and warning – reminding us that our faith should be evident not in empty words, but in consistent, Christ-honoring actions that would make others want what we have.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

We're in the middle of a series on academic leadership, and today, I focus on the foundation: leading yourself. In this episode, I unpack what self-leadership really means: making decisions grounded in your mission and values that shape who you become, not just what you produce. I'll explain why embracing seasonality—intentionally focusing on writing during specific periods while scaling back other commitments—is a powerful way to adapt to the challenges many academics face today, like frozen grant programs and shifting research priorities. Finally, I share practical tools and mindset shifts you need to lead yourself through a writing season with clear boundaries, effective time management, and focused energy. If you're ready to take control of your writing and academic career by mastering self-leadership, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how leading yourself is the secret to writing more intentionally and productively. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

Writing and publishing might feel like individual, behind-the-scenes tasks. But what if your ability to lead in academia starts with how you show up for your own writing? In this episode, I discuss why taking control of your writing and publishing is not merely about checking off boxes for tenure or seeking validation. It's about developing the leadership skills necessary for success in academia—regardless of whether you have an official title. I examine how consistently committing to your writing fosters self-trust, boosts confidence, clarifies decision-making, and enhances project management skills—all of which are crucial for effective leadership. Regardless of your administrative position, your capacity to lead yourself is what truly defines you as a leader in academia. Tune in to discover why academic leadership extends beyond administrative roles. If you're looking to grow both as a scholar and a leader, this episode will provide you with a powerful new perspective on your writing practice. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

In this essential professional development episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley demonstrates the importance of conducting an annual Google search audit of your academic presence. She provides practical guidance for academics on monitoring and managing their online research profile, particularly during summer months when professional development tasks typically receive more attention. Christine begins by sharing her personal practice of Googling herself annually, acknowledging that while she doesn't always maintain perfect consistency, this summer task has become integral to her professional maintenance routine. She explains how summer naturally lends itself to career-focused activities like CV updates, professional organization memberships, and overall research profile assessment. During her live demonstration of searching her own name, Christine reveals several key insights about academic online presence. She expresses satisfaction that her search results display primarily research-oriented content, including conference presentations with proper institutional affiliations and research interests. Notably, she celebrates that Google's algorithm has finally updated to reflect her current research areas rather than outdated interests from 15 years ago - a common problem academics face with persistent, obsolete online information. Her search results showcase a well-rounded academic digital footprint including her institution, LinkedIn profile, Defend Publish & Lead company page, personal WordPress site, sabbatical work at Ohio State, book publications, ResearchGate, Humanities Commons, X (formerly Twitter) posts, and Google Scholar profile. She notes that posts from Inside Higher Education also appear in her results, demonstrating the value of external publication visibility. However, Christine identifies a significant gap in her current online presence: two new books published in April - an edited collection on faculty writing research and a Routledge publication on time management for academic mothers (Rec Comp Moms) - are notably absent from her first-page search results. This discovery illustrates the episode's central point about the need for proactive promotion of recent scholarship. Christine explains the strategic importance of maintaining current search visibility, noting that while people may discover new work through social media posts, many researchers conduct Google searches when they encounter someone's work for the first time. If recent publications don't appear on the first page, potential readers and collaborators may miss significant contributions to the field. She discusses the nuanced relationship between Google's algorithm and academic self-promotion, explaining that consistent activity around specific projects eventually leads to first-page visibility. While a 2018 book continues to appear prominently in her results, she emphasizes the need to actively promote newer work through various channels including Substack blogs, LinkedIn posts, and other content that refreshes regularly. Christine positions this digital audit as complementary to traditional CV work, particularly valuable for academics preparing for job market activities or tenure and promotion applications in the fall. She stresses that a well-organized Google presence can significantly impact professional opportunities when search committees or colleagues investigate an academic's background. The episode concludes with information about Defend Publish & Lead's upcoming faculty development seminarsavailable through Eventbrite, covering topics from faculty writing groups to supporting chairs and deans as writers, paragraph writing for dissertation students, and book writing strategies.

Do you cringe at the idea of being a manager in academia? You're not alone, but it's time for a mindset shift.

If you are a professor seeking to grow as a scholar, leader, and mentor, this series is for you. Tune in to shift your perspective on leadership in academia.

Today's guest is someone I've admired for years, and I know you're going to walk away from this conversation feeling seriously inspired. I had the privilege of sitting down with Julie Wainwright, founder of the billion-dollar luxury resale powerhouse, The RealReal.

In this episode, we dive into: What inspired Julie to launch a company that changed the way we shop luxury fashion Her advice for becoming a better problem solver and taking bold action in your life Her perspective on how to spot trends and shop smarter online And, maybe most importantly, how to rewrite the narrative around age and self-worth—because Julie is proof that it's never too late to chase your big dreams Plus, she's sharing a peek into her brand new book, Time to Get Real: How I Built a Billion-Dollar Business That Rocked the Fashion Industry, which drops tomorrow!

Ever feel like you should know how long a writing task will take, but somehow, it always takes longer (or shorter) than you expected? If so, this bonus episode is for you! After coaching dozens of academics one-on-one in our Navigate program this past year, I've developed a brand-new concept that's transforming how academic writers plan, prioritize, and stick to their writing timelines: the difference between writing problems and writing tasks. I'm so excited to bring this concept into the curriculum of our Navigate program. We'll not only teach you how to distinguish between problems and tasks but also how to manage each with clarity and confidence. Want your own lightbulb moment?

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.

Is it possible that your biggest step in faith begins with just saying yes—even before you know where it'll lead? Saying yes to God, even when you don't know all He's asking, is about trusting the One who's asking. It's not about having the plan—it's about knowing He's good. Mary didn't have all the details, but she said yes, and that yes changed everything. Our willingness can open the door for God to do more than we could ever imagine. I sit with Christina Semmens, author of Say Yes: Discovering Purpose, Peace, and Abundance in Daily Life, to talk about how small, daily choices can lead to a life of mission and meaning. We unpack how personal and relational evangelization isn't one-size-fits-all, and how saying yes—internally and externally—can transform your relationship with God and others. Whether you're seeking to live your faith more intentionally or just need a dose of spiritual encouragement, Christina offers practical wisdom and heartfelt insight to help you walk more closely with God and embrace your unique calling.

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.

Welcome to a brand-new series on Academic Writing Amplified - project management for academic writing! Over the next few episodes, I'll guide you through how to treat your writing like the complex, ongoing project it truly is. I'll show you how to build systems that help you manage multiple due dates, balance competing responsibilities, and stay in control of your writing pipeline—without burning out or constantly reinventing the wheel. In this first segment, I'm laying the foundation. I walk you through the two most important building blocks of academic writing project management: Learning the core skills—like breaking big writing goals into manageable tasks and estimating how long those tasks take. Creating a system that works—including templates, scheduling practices, and simple routines to keep your projects moving, even when your calendar is packed. If you've ever felt like your writing is always on the back burner or you're constantly busy but never finishing anything, this episode is for 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. She studies eating behaviors and motivation in parents and children. We're receiving applications for our next cohort of Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap®!
