Unlocking Holiday Joy: Navigating the Academic Hustle with Keondria McClish Boyd
Manage episode 388322604 series 3515055
Hi there, as the leaves change and the air turns crisp, we find ourselves really on the brink of the holiday season. For many of us academics, this time of year can be a whirlwind of stress and competing demands, leaving little room to plan and enjoy the holiday season.
The holidays can often be stressful due to overwhelming to-do lists and competing demands and desires. We try to finish the semester strong and get a head start on planning next semester, all while trying to enjoy the festivities, meet the expectations of friends and family, and find time for personal writing and rejuvenation. It can feel impossible! And can easily lead to stress and disappointment.
I’m Keondria McClish Boyd and having been in academia for years I became an academic well-being coach to tackle topics such as these and help other academics navigate these sticky situations in academia that affect our overall well-being.
So, over the next five days, we will talk about the five mistakes that can sabotage academics' intentions of using the holidays for rejuvenation and realignment.
