scholar_farmer<p>On getting "unstuck":</p><p>* Set a time limit<br>* 5-minute: only work for 5 minutes and then decide if going to continue.<br>* Do some backwards planning: if the final thing is do X, then a draft is needed Y; so then I'd need my notes together by Z; which means I need my materials by A; which means I need to order things from the annex or interlibrary loan by B -- so there's still time to get this done!<br>* make a checklist to see your progress<br>* Do a Pomodoro!</p><p>3/3 fin</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/writingprocess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writingprocess</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/unstuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unstuck</span></a></p>

scholar_farmer<p>I worked with my freshmen yesterday on how to get "unstuck" when working on a big research project, and here are some of our answers: </p><p>* Talk it out with someone<br>* Take a moment to brainstorm<br>* Chunk it into super simple tasks<br>* Write what you’re worried about &amp; review it (it's usually not so bad!)<br>* Change media (computer &gt; paper &gt; scrap &gt; etc)<br>* Take a walk<br>* Change of scenery / food / workout<br>* Do something else productive</p><p>1/3</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/writingprocess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writingprocess</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/unstuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unstuck</span></a></p>
getting unstuck<p>The idea of getting <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unstuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unstuck</span></a> sometimes feels like sweet relief to me, but other times like sheer terror and fear. When I look inside there are parts who do everything in their power so I won't move. What I call being stuck–they call it being safe. And here's thing: I respect that need and I respect that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fear</span></a>. I don't ignore or belittle it. I listen closely to the needs and try to find solutions that work for me, as a whole, as I am right now. That's the spirit I try to convey in this project.</p>
