Thoughts on accountability, deadlines, and goals

Some thoughts on how and why you might use accountability, deadlines, and goals to motivate you to write. I include excerpts from some responses to these thoughts by Pat Thomson and Rachael Cayley. My goal in publishing this is to help you reflect on your own practices and adjust them so that you open up the possibility for joy in your writing as well as getting the writing done that you want and need to do.Read the Pat Thomson post: https://patthomson.net/2015/07/02/accountability-and-academic-writing/Read the Rachael Cayley post: https://explorationsofstyle.com/2015/06/25/productivity-an-ethical-response/Read my full thoughts on this here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/accountability-deadlines-goals/For more advice, support and perspectives like this, sign up to my free monthly newsletter: https://jovanevery.co.uk/newsletter To find out how short chunks of time can revolutionise your writing, take the FREE 15 Minute Writing Challenge course: https://jovanevery.co.uk/15-min-writing-challenge/ Or join the Academic Writing Studio community: https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk  Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery  I'm no longer on Twitter, but I'm on Bluesky here: https://bsky.app/profile/jovanevery.bsky.social Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/  Or follow along on Facebook here: https://facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach
