Productive scholars establish a routine, a rhythm, that boosts productivity. Most preserve morning hours to tackle their most intellectually demanding tasks and push more routine tasks like meetings and teaching to the afternoon. Most work 40-50 hours per week, though some work more, with about half that time focused on research activities. Productive scholars set goals, prioritize tasks, and orchestrate to-do list plans for reaching them. They are efficient. They fill large time blocks and small time pockets with scholarly work. They take breaks to keep fresh but don’t procrastinate. Productive scholars say “no” to invitations that interrupt priorities and to other time-killing tasks and distractions. Yet, they do more than research; they serve the field. Most seek and attain a healthy work-life balance that includes time for family, mental rejuvenation, and physical activity. Female scholars, perhaps because of societal norms, are particularly challenged in attaining a work-life balance.
