Here’s a new blog that I love that talks about fun clothing for the academic.  Looking good on an academic’s budget – this is awesome!

A quick shout out for a good self-monitoring tool.

The person who came up with Academic Ladder (http://academicladderwriting.com) is a genius. And, obviously, a behavior analyst.

You see, I am that professor. The one who teaches and neglects anything without a deadline. I needed someone to coach me.

And here it is. You check in each day with your team and talk [...]
