Academic Writing Amplified 185: "But If I Don't Do It, Who Will?" With Guest Natalie Miller
Meet my coach, Natalie Miller! Natalie is a professional coach who helps people with exceptionally high standards navigate life. Like myself, most of Natalie's clients are also coaches.
In today's episode, we discuss the consequences of hyper-responsibility. We explore how high standards can push us into overwork and why institutions support a "do it myself" work ethic. We talk about this issue from multiple angles and through the lens of academia and life at home. You can be a successful academic and set boundaries on your time, wants, and desires. It may require systemic change in the framework of your institution, but even more importantly, it requires personal and professional development.
Tune in to hear our thoughts on hyper-responsibility and how to leverage high standards in a way that does not result in burnout or overwork.
