The cover of this issue of the Academic Life newsletter is called Write It Down: The Hidden Power of Making To-Do Lists. The background art is a wooden desk top with a stack of paper file folders topped with a blank “to-do” list and a pen. Light shines on it from a near-by lamp.

Part of the hidden curriculum is the specific set of skills that get you from “to-do” to “done!“ Click the link to learn more about making effective “to-do” lists - my newsletter is free (or donate-what-you-can): ⬇️

What is "fit"? And, where do I fit? Finding the right publisher [or agent] for your work means figuring out where your writing project "fits." Where are books like the one you are writing currently shelved? Who published them? Who edit...

If you’re struggling, it’s likely because of the hidden curriculum - a data set only some people can access. This thread helps you find and use that data. ⬇️

email from potential advisor: "you certainly seem like a well-qualified student with the expertise and background to succeed here"
me: go on???
email: "unfortunately I currently don't have any funding"

and that's basically how almost every other email's gone, too :/ #gradsky #meteorology

Wrapped up my summer course last week…and just like that, Year 1 of the PhD is officially done. What a year it has been.

Also completed my Fall course registration today. The journey continues… apparently.

Finally finished my discussion, now to record my video for this course and then we're all good for the week! #GradSky

Preprints is a great platform for #graduatestudents working on #research outputs. Stake a claim to your ideas, obtain a DOI & become citable, upload new versions of your work, and start tracking metrics. Your working paper will link to the eventual published paper, too. #polisky #academisky #gradsky

I'm tired of writing scripts and shooting videos every single week for my class low-key. #GradSky

Working on the slides for my thesis presentation, and I really like this minimalist layout - #gradsky, am I cooking?

Starting homework early this week to see if I can get ahead of the weekend stress that comes from saving most of it for later in the week. #GradSky

I have an ethics paper due for my cybersecurity course, and the requirements are kind of insane I cannot lie. #GradSky

Tomorrow is literally going to be almost strictly a homework day... #Yay #GradSky

Well, my grade officially dropped, and I scored a perfect score on my final and a 99.22% in my course overall! The first on my way to obtaining my #MSIS and it's so motivating! #GradSky #GradStudent

Okay, so no break in-between courses, just straight into Cybersecurity it is 👌 #GradSky

Welp, finished, that's all we wrote. 1/10th done with my #MSIS, new classes start already on Monday. #GradSky

There's a lot of conflict out there, so I made a short video on how to navigate interpersonal conflict in the academy. I hope it helps!

False alarm, kept getting annotation comments from Canvas; then walked away with a 79/80. Please note, entering the last week, the only thing left is my final project, and it's worth 40% of my grade. This alone was worth 30% of my grade so winning #gradsky

Put together my plan to finish my Master's by Spring of next year #GradSky

Sleep<writing SQL well into the night #BuiltDifferent #GradStudent #GradSky

Finally working on my homework for the week, better late than never I guess #GradSky

A core part of being productive is learning how to prioritize. This week I discuss some strategies that have helped me!

#edusky #PhDsky #AcademicSky #phdlife #psychsky #scisky #gradsky

Okay, I might only have 2 days until my homework is due, but at least I finally started it #GradSky
