Show Notes

Alisa B. Lin is an assistant professor who also writes on the intersection of productivity and caregiving. In her Substack newsletter, at wewhotend.substack.com, she takes an inclusive and feminist approach to productivity advice. She is also writing a book on productivity that is explicitly inclusive of parents, caregivers, and people with disabilities.

In this episode Alisa shares applies her work on productivity to sabbaticals. She provides advice and strategies for: balancing personal and professional goals during sabbatical, managing unstructured time, feeling like you don’t have enough time to accomplish all your sabbatical goals, estimating how long things will actually take, dealing with unexpected changes that arise during sabbatical, and so much more.

I hope you’ll find advice and inspiration you can use, and that you’ll check out Alisa’s Substack newsletter!
