New episode! What my working pattern looks like today, vs how it was a few years ago before I started to work on my procrastination, inner critic, unrealistic standards, and all the rest. Listen: academicimperfectionist.com/… #FridayMotivation #amwriting #phdlife #ProductivityTips

Always nerve wracking when sharing previously hidden parts of ourselves or aspects of our story. I appreciate the honesty in your podcast. This episode is great. I also get dehydrated when teaching for some reason 🤔

@AcademicImp thank you for making this podcast! There's so much power and validation in someone well-established and productive acknowledging all the hard feelings - and that they never go away! This is one of the few times I've heard profs talk about what this *feels like* and

New episode! Is focusing on achieving your end goal stopping you from recognising the progress you've already made? Listen: academicimperfectionist.com/… #FridayFeeling #FridayMotivation #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #PhD #FridayVibes #Growth #personaldevelopment #mentalhealth

A thread about our depraved healthcare system, and a plea. In 2021, my friend Carole was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer. A single parent with two kids, she had just turned 43. In 2017, she had watched her brother Chris die of the same cancer. He too was in his 40s.

Thank you for another great podcast that addresses challenges so many of us face! It's amazing to have these being shared, and feel seeb and heard, helping to destigmatize the challenges and normalize talking about it to help overcome them.

Reading anxiety is a common challenge, especially for graduate students. This is a great listen and reminder that you don't need to memorize or know all the details in your reading, let it, "wash over you" and focus more on the big picture.
If I had a pound for all the #students and fellow #academics who I've heard say 'I'm rubbish/too slow/too distracted at reading' ... Here's how to get more from your time spent reading! Listen: academicimperfectionist.com/… #MondayMotivation #MondayMood #heatwave #tippingpoint

Academic perfectionism almost killed me but I am now more accepting of my 'imperfectionism' and 100% worth listening to the podcast!

New episode! I know you want to be less of a perfectionist, be more assertive, and believe in yourself. But these traits that you dislike in yourself are also some of your greatest strengths. Listen: academicimperfectionist.com/… #AcademicChatter #FridayFeeling #FridayMotivation
