Binge and Bust Writing

In this episode, I talk about binge and bust writing among academic writers. I explain how this writing pattern, characterized by procrastination followed by intense writing sessions, leads to stress, burnout, and lower quality work. Being a sustainable academic requires writing habits that foster momentum and productivity, not burnout, and ultimately to a more fulfilling academic career.
