One of the biggest challenges my clients face is figuring out how to write during semesters when they are also teaching.

It’s not just a matter of trying to fit writing into their schedules—which is a huge challenge in and of itself.

But it’s also about the difficulty of balancing the short-term, hard deadlines of teaching with the longer-term, seemingly lower stakes deadlines that are usually attached to book writing.

The former feels urgent while the latter does not.

So with that in mind, I decided to devote today’s episode to talking about the similarities between book writing and teaching.

My hope is that once you start seeing these activities as aligned rather than as completely different kinds of projects, it will be easier to incorporate writing your book into your teaching schedule.
