Figuring out that my best thinking time is in the morning and so planning to do writing/creative thinking then.
Realising that doing 3-4 hours of good work a day is much better than sitting at my desk for hours on end doing nothing.
The very act of writing helps me to figure things out. A lot of what I write is never going to be part of the final piece.

Where does academic writing stop and activism begin?

# data[].attributes.body
The frontier between writing to gain academic legitimacy and writing to reach a broader audience and contribute to a societal dialogue is very blurry, what is your take on this?

# data[].attributes.body
Make a plan, and find the main argument for each section: in this part, i will explain this/analyze that/ask this question/...
Revize this plan (and maybe the main argument) as you go on.
This can be a very detailed plan, including the main theory, the data, the train of thought..
Talk about this plan with all kind of people (experts, friends, fellow phd students)
Be sure that you "delivered" what you planned: did I really explained this argument in these pages? Or do I need to change the goal/argument of the section? Or do I need to be more clear on this point, that part...

I think what helps me sometimes as someone for whom english is a second language, is to write my ideas and then come back  a few days later and have the computer read them back to me- just to make sure everything makes sense.

Writing Academic Texts Differently: Intersectional Feminist Methodologies and the Playful Art of Writing

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This edited volume combines cutting-edge research on feminist and intersectional writing methodologies with explorations of links between academic and creative writing practices. Contributors discuss what it means for academic writing processes to explore intersectional in-between spaces between monolithic identity markers and power differentials such as gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and nationality.

Not loosing myself in something that I find super interesting but is not related to the "point" of the chapter. It's certainly a way of procrastinating the act of writing, but suddenly everything else than "my point" seems fascinating. Two weeks, a book and 5 articles later, I realize it's not really my subject, and it becomes a footnote...and I did not really advance in my thesis.

To combat the feeling of "not doing anything serious" when I actually do research, or thinking, or scavenging or organization, I started using a time-tracker (I use Boosted). In time it helped me notice what kind of works I do within my PhD and keep track of how much time I spend with each task/kind of work. I include things like "free writing", "writing", "editing", "research", "admin".
Now it also became my ritualistic "click" on the phone screen before I start writing, which helps with focusing.

Writing can be a dialogue, but I find it tough to respond to what others have written about (on my topic) in a comprehensive enough manner: I never read enough, it'll take me years to have a "legitimate" thing to say.

That would be for me time management, figuring out what is a good time to write but also how to divide the time between writing and editing, especially amongst the other organisational tasks that always seem to be more urgent. Also, finding my own voice/style - not to just produce dry academic writing but to learn to really write well.
