Another day of writing (grind)

Hi y’all just wanted to leave a note for those who are struggling like me, I am feeling burned out from research. I get super motivated and work like nuts and then at some point it fizzles. I think the reason is because progress is slow despite the amount of effort I put in. It is the nature of academic work but it is soooo hard!!!! Aside I realized I have no joy outside this pushing urge to publish…other than making different pasta dishes?! Basically no life, maybe. Any tips?! Empathy welcome.

Note: I am a postdoc.

The best way to wrote is to combine it with reading: read a paper and immediately take notes or write a sentence/paragraph. If you wait to finish reading everything first, and only then start writing, the work seems much bigger and you will also have forgotten things that were in the first paper you read. 

In general, we all like to get. big project done and think we can do that through focused work. Instead it is better to divide it in small chunks that you can easily accomplish. Completing a small section every day and ticking it off will feel more satisfying than checking of one big box after a month.
