Getting back on Track

by Kieran Healy on March 2, 2006

Via Bitch Ph.D some advice on recovering from going AWOL, i.e., catching back up again after becoming overcommitted and falling way behind on promised deadlines, etc. A much better name — and solution — for this problem, which alas I can’t claim credit for, is “Declaring Intellectual Bankruptcy.”

The problem stated is a familiar one for associates in law firms, as well as academics — I wouldn’t be surprised if it weren’t common to most intellectual professions. (I’m generalizing madly. The above should be read as “Hey, I’m AWOL right now!”)

Steve: get caught up on backlog, you mean? Sure, that would be nice all round, wouldn’t it….
