One of my goals (since becoming a mom) is to do less, free my schedule, be more mindful of my limitations. This is hard.
Today I said no to a publication I would have loved to contribute to, with the hope that my summer will be more spacious & expansive. Yeyyy to beach time?! 😊
Back to my writing routines after an incredibly challenging start of the year. Let the spring be good 🌷🙏
So much dissertation writing advice assumes you're not also running after kids—which erases the fact that many, many grad students are also parents.
On the IoF blog, Jamiella Brooks offers some real help on dissertating while parenting.

The first days of a new year have always been my favorite ones for academic writing. Everything is still slow and cozy, people are back to work but also not really, and I feel halfway restored after 10 days with by 13-month old ☺️ Let's do this! 💪
Review work done for this year ✅ Hoping to still submit one paper of my own before the end of 2023, but first, we're going on a little vacation (in the middle of the week as we have different teaching schedules) ✨ Let's see how restful a week with our walking baby can be 😅
I was super proud I met the deadline for one paper due mid-October, before realizing that the next one is due in 2 weeks haha (and not mid-November, as I thought) 😬😩 Will never meet that deadline, but I think I can live with that & it will be my VERY FIRST paper submitted late
