272: [Project Management Series] Writing Problems versus Writing Tasks (Re-Release BONUS)

from Academic Writing Amplified · host Cathy Mazak, PhD

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? Tune in and learn how to take your academic writing process to the next level. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.
