Show Notes

Have you ever wondered how much work is enough for an academic sabbatical or what types of projects academics typically work on during sabbatical?

In this episode, I talk about how to rethink what counts as a productive sabbatical and walk you through a list of the possibilities you might consider as you think about the professional projects you’d like to focus on for your sabbatical.

If you want to see that list, check out this blog post.

If you need help determining your sabbatical purpose, check out this worksheet.

And finally, if you’d like to chat about what it’s like to work with me to plan your sabbatical, I’d love for you to book a discovery call.
