Everyone has heard the advice:“𝙀𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙜.”
But for thinking-heavy work, that often creates more pressure than progress.

What if the real solution isn’t eating the frog — but shrinking it?

This is the idea behind my latest video 🐸👇

Here’s the simple 3-tier system I use (and teach my clients) to stay productive — without forcing high-energy tasks when my brain is done.

Not all tasks require the same level of focus… and matching your work to your energy can save an entire day from spiraling.

And if you want the full explanation, I just uploaded a 7-minute video breaking it down step-by-step.

It’s the Friday after American Thanksgiving… and academics everywhere are in this exact stage:

𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐞 → 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐬 → 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬.

If you’re sprinting through these last weeks of the semester, you’re not alone.
Deep breaths, one page at a time… and hydrate. We’re almost there. 🍊✏️

Hi, I’m Marina — an ecologist, academic coach, and creator behind OrangeInspire.
After nearly 30 years in academia, I realized how much we, as educators and researchers, give of ourselves — often forgetting to protect our time, energy, and creativity.

That’s why this channel exists.
Here, you’ll find two sides of my world:

🧭 OrangeInspire Academic Coaching – videos and playlists with practical tools to help academics define and achieve their career goals, improve time management, boost productivity, and set healthy boundaries.

🎨 OrangeInspire Studio – my creative space, where I design gifts and collections inspired by academic life. Each piece reflects the humor, passion, and purpose of those who teach, learn, and never stop growing.

Together, they tell one story — about thriving in academia and beyond.
