Contexts for academia
RM66 | Sep 18 2007
What contexts do folks involved in academia find work well? I divided my contexts into "Need brain" and "Don't need brain", but my "Need brain" group seems to need some additional granularity, but I can't quite figure out of what sort. I've been considering a context that is basically "need at least an hour of uninterrupted time"--but it's rare for that context to actually arise when the term is in session. Anyway, I was just curious what other people who are academics do in terms of contexts. (I have searched the forums and found some answers, but not quite the answer as to what people find works well) Thanks 14 Comments

Recognizing that I will always have reading I need to do and I will always have writing I need to do, and that these, though important, will not always be recognized as urgent (in the face of classes to teach, meetings to prep for, etc.), I have dedicated time slots every work day to reading and to writing. This is a really excellent and elegant idea! As an academic who has struggled with "finding/making" time for reading, writing, and reflective thinking, your idea resonates with me. (It also echoes a best practice for faculty - writing in moderation, often.) » POSTED IN:
