Welcome to a brand-new series on Academic Writing Amplified - project management for academic writing! Over the next few episodes, I'll guide you through how to treat your writing like the complex, ongoing project it truly is. I'll show you how to build systems that help you manage multiple due dates, balance competing responsibilities, and stay in control of your writing pipeline—without burning out or constantly reinventing the wheel. In this first segment, I'm laying the foundation. I walk you through the two most important building blocks of academic writing project management: Learning the core skills—like breaking big writing goals into manageable tasks and estimating how long those tasks take. Creating a system that works—including templates, scheduling practices, and simple routines to keep your projects moving, even when your calendar is packed.
