Suspending Academics Unleashed
Dear all, Sometimes in life, things move in another direction causing our plans and projects to change. Therefore, with some reluctance I am temporarily suspending AU. In the meantime, as Spock would say, "May you all live well and prosper":)

Procrastination…the challenge of getting it done
I know we are only a small group currently, but I guess it’s a good time to remember the humble acorn. I am rapt to read your self-introductions. As 2024 hits its stride, its a good time to reflect on overcoming that stamina-killer…procrastination. I’ve been reading ‘Tiny Leaps, Big Changes’ recently by Greg Clunis ,a young American who shares academic research findings on motivation and goal-setting in the easy-to-read style of Malcolm Gladwell, packed with personal anecdotes and practical exercises. You can also access the audio book freely if you have Spotify premium. Clunis devotes a whole chapter to overcoming procrastination after sharing the results from a study at the Uni of Calgary that found 95% of Americans is affected by procrastination at some point and 20% are chronic offenders. Clunis identifies himself in the latter category. I think perhaps I am a CO too, although I go through periods of extreme productivity. How about you? And how do you deal with procrastination? Is it just simply following the Nike mantra, and just doing it? It’s a good question question to begin the conversation😎

Happy New Year folks
Hi everyone, We are a few days into 2024, and on behalf of all of us at Academics Unleashed, I want to wish you a rewarding year. Let's make it worthwhile for those we care about, ourselves...and all the friends we haven't met yet. Remember, any act of communication will either create a bridge or a wall. Let's be bridge-builders in all our communities. I am considering changing direction a little this year and refocusing our relatively new group around those passionate about enhancing and sharing their bridge-building skills. To that end, please send me a text if you support the new focus along with a name change to Bridge-building Unlimited

Thank you!
What a powerful idea, especially with so many pressures and changes in Academia. This will only work with widespread support, so I'll tell my network about this new way to expand our influence.
