#20: Don't just write it - ferment it!
Manage episode 302500138 series 2808015
So, you heard the last episode, and you're completely on board with not writing being an essential part of writing. But what sort of not-writing is best? Some not-writing activities allow our best ideas to ferment away in the background, growing in goodness like a good batch of sauerkraut. Other not-writing activities, however, grind the whole mental fermentation process to a halt.
The bad news is that, at the moment we decide to take a break from writing, we're especially vulnerable to plumping for the wrong sort of not-writing activities. The good news is that The Academic Imperfectionist is on hand to shut that shit down.
Here are the readings mentioned in this episode:
Kethledge, R. M. and Erwin, M. S. 2019: Lead Yourself First (Bloomsbury).
Newport, C. 2020: Digital Minimalism (Penguin).
Schroder, H. 2021: 'Set yourself free by developing a growth mindset toward anxiety', Psyche.
