Resources to set you up for success!
Here are some of my fave resources and tools for research, writing, statistics, and overall thriving!
Instantly add two monitors to any laptop with our best-selling, award-winning Tri-Screen 2. Work from anywhere without sacrificing productivity with triple the screens. Welcome to the era of flexible work.
Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks is the only reference to combine expert guidance with a step-by-step workbook. Each week, readers learn a feature of strong articles and work on revising theirs accordingly. Every day is mapped out, taking the guesswork and worry out of writing. There are tasks, templates, and reminders. At the end of twelve weeks, graduate students, recent PhDs, postdoctoral fellows, adjunct instructors, junior faculty, and international faculty will feel confident they know that the rules of academic publishing and have the tools they need to succeed.

This website compiles science-based practices for living a more meaningful life. On here you’ll find exercises and activities to experience more gratitude, compassion, awe, you name it. You can search by the type of experience you’d like to have, difficulty level, or user rating (be careful with these…what’s effective for one person might not be effective for someone else).
There are a lot of project management tools and apps out there but I personally love asana. It allows you to create color-coded projects with tasks and subtasks in each one and then gives you a list of all your overall tasks sorted by due date or project. You can also assign tasks to other people on your team which is a handy feature to keep track of team projects.
Dr. Kelsky, a "recovering academic" is probably best known for her blog, The Professor is In (see below) but this book gives even more detail and samples about how to get a job in academia and be productive so that you can keep it.
This book was recommended to me by so many people and when I FINALLY read it it changed my writing practice dramatically. In fact, I would say I didn't even really have a writing practice before I read this book.
There are a number of time tracking devices out there. I use Toggl because it is simple and clearly tracks my different projects across all of my devices. Whichever you choose, please choose one and stick with it. Not only does this help you stay on task, tracking your time helps you to better estimate how long projects or tasks will take in the future.

Let’s fall in love with learning together!
My research focuses on students’ and teachers’ motivation for science education. In addition to fueling my learning obsession,I am energized by helping women achieve greatness through research driven psychology and empowering other academics to write- expressing themselves authentically!
