It’s easy to get caught in “busy mode”—feeling overwhelmed with tasks piling up, yet your papers remain unwritten, and the journals you want to publish in seem out of reach.

The solution? Slow Productivity. 😌

By focusing on fewer, more meaningful tasks, you can achieve more without the burnout.

Here's how:

1️⃣ Do Fewer Things
Overwhelm happens when your plate is too full. Too many commitments—meetings, courses, projects—distract you from writing. Start saying ‘no’ to non-essential tasks and focus on writing your papers. 📝

2️⃣ Work at a Natural Pace
Writing and publishing papers is not a sprint. Some days you’ll make huge progress, while others may feel slower. Don’t rush—allow your work to grow at a sustainable pace. The fewer tasks you juggle, the more meaningful your progress will be. ⏳

3️⃣ Obsess Over Quality
Would you rather publish 10 mediocre papers or 3 in high-impact journals? Quality over quantity is key. When you slow down and focus on fewer tasks, you can create valuable, impactful research. 🎯

📌 Slow Productivity is about being intentional with your time and energy. By focusing on fewer, high-value activities, you can produce better results—without the burnout.

🖼️ Picture this:

🔹 You spend months collecting and analysing data.
🔹 Then another few months writing your paper.
🔹 You wait weeks for the journal response…

And it gets rejected or sent back for major revisions.

Why?

Often, it's because the results aren't presented properly.

(Watch this video where I break down exactly how to present qualitative results for Q1 journals: https://youtu.be/ZZJSF4g-wik)

Reviewers assume you already know how to do it better. 💁‍♂️
So you’re left trying to figure it out alone. 🙇

And if you haven’t published in a Q1 journal before… you don’t even know what you're aiming for.

That’s why I’m giving you a simple, proven framework:

1️⃣ State the main result – 1–2 sentences max.

2️⃣ Provide evidence – use short, clear quotes that directly support the result.

3️⃣ So what?! – explain what the quote means and why it matters.

4️⃣ Transition – link to the next result to build a coherent story.

🎬 Want to see it in action? I guided a researcher through this live: https://youtu.be/ZZJSF4g-wik

Still unsure how this applies to your paper?

Confession Time: I Didn't Practice What I Preach... 😬

Today, I broke my own principles of focus and productivity, and let me tell you, it wasn’t fun.

But it was also a valuable lesson—a reminder of what not to do if you want to stay focused and productive. 🧠

We had a co-working session with our Published Researchers clients,

where we focus intensely for 2 hours on our most important task of the day. Unfortunately, my session didn’t go as planned.

Here’s why:

1️⃣ NEVER open your email box in the morning.
I did it today, and got instantly sucked into answering emails and managing urgent tasks. It took me 20-30 minutes to regain focus. Lesson learned.

2️⃣ Clarify your priority the night before.
I didn’t specify my priority for the day the night before. I had a general idea, but it wasn’t clear enough, which delayed my start. Planning ahead is key!

3️⃣ Keep only one tab or window open.
I left our Published Researcher community tab open, and my mind wandered to check updates every few minutes. Major distraction.

4️⃣ Reward yourself for progress!
After the session, I started beating myself up for not staying fully focused. But then I realized I still achieved a lot, even if it wasn’t everything I planned. I wrote down my accomplishments and reflected on what I’m grateful for. Celebrate your wins!

✨ Now, it's your turn!

Have you ever had one of those days where focus just didn’t happen? 😅

How did you turn it around? Or do you have a productivity tip that keeps you on track?

Do you sometimes wonder how some researchers are able to regularly publish papers? 🤔

While for others the task feels like pulling teeth...

Toiling for months just to then bounce from rejection to rejection.

📅 Over the years we've developed a proven system that predictably gives our clients publication after publication.

📍 Here's another one hot off the press:

(it should be available online in the next few days)

👨‍🎓 When Krzysztof decided to enroll on our program, writing papers felt like an insurmountable task.

He was so busy with teaching and admin and chasing grants as a professor, that finding time for writing felt almost impossible. 🤷‍♂️

And when he did find the time, writing felt like pulling teeth. 🦷

Five months later, he's not only published a paper and submitted several more, but he rediscovered the joy of writing. ✨

And is now on track for 10 papers in 2025. 🥳

How do you develop grit?

✅ Build Strong Habits (yes, even if you avoid Excel at all costs)
✅ Believe in Growth (even if one reviewer’s comment makes no sense)
✅ Block Distractions (goodbye, 200th cat video)

Getting feedback on your research writing can feel like a punch to the gut. After spending months (or even years!) working on your thesis or research paper, hearing that your writing needs improvement can be frustrating.

Your first instinct? Defensiveness.
“How dare they criticize my work?!”

But here’s the reality: Feedback is the key to research success.

🚨 Ignoring feedback because it’s painful? That holds you back.
🚨 Not acting on feedback because it’s hard? That stops your progress.

Instead of feeling defeated, use feedback to level up your writing and publish faster. 🔥
