More, no thanks.

It's Sunday. I'm not even sure where the weekend went. It went so fast. I'm grading papers and prepping my taxes. Dohhhh. Taxes are always a punch to the gut when you work so many jobs. My goal for this year is to work less jobs. And write more. More research. More papers. More books? I'm going to try and collaborate with faculty from the same field and different fields. If I want to move forward in Academia this has got to be my focus. And so I'll stop staying busy. I'll work one or two jobs "more". I'll say no more. I'll stop and prioritize more. I'll cut out hours for research. I'll use the time nobody wants. I'll read more research articles. I'll subscribe to a few journals. I'll do more because more of this Academia life is what I want. I enjoy the flexible schedule. The summers and breaks off. The time I can spend at home or visiting others. But yet still making an impact. So there it is. In the writing. They say you achieve your goals more if you put them out into the world.  

There you go, world.
