Goals and Deadlines Suck: A Process Approach to Writing Productivity

By

Rich Furman, MFA, MSW, PhD

Strengths-based, insight-oriented coaching for scholars and leaders at all stages of their careers Coaching with the touch of a therapist 

This workshop explores how goal setting and deadlines can create anxiety and actually inhibit optimal writing productivity. It demonstrates how a process approach to writing helps us be more productive and can make writing cognitively benign at worst, and joyful at best. Implications of this webinar pertain not only to writing, but to many of our work and daily tasks: even emails! 

This workshop is perfect for those who have not worked with Rich in the past, but also will serve as a great refresher for those who have. Register for one of two times! The fee is $35.

Intention and Process

 Instead of resolutions for the new year, set intentions and the processes to actualize those intentions.  Without putting processes in place to move toward these intentions, you have nothing but fanciful wishes.

Now Coach Rich, and Only Coach Rich

Today I start my first year as a full time coach. After 25 years as a college professor, and 15 years coaching academics as a side gig (not so side for a while), I now get to do what I love every day and focus only on that. I am so excited for this. No resolutions: just get to be best best-self. Bring it on, 2025. Thank you all for helping me make my dream come true.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼

Salsa Dancing and Failure

There are many reasons why I dance salsa. One is to fail. Yes, you read that correctly. I dance to fail.  When you partner dance, salsa in particular, you are going to make mistakes, several times a dance, no matter how good you are. Dancing salsa gives me a powerful opportunity to stay in process, let go of the results, and just be present. Sound familiar? The mindset and skills of making that happen are an essential part of my coaching academics on writing, being “productive” and being in the job.

Good morning, have a good writing session

 Happy Monday. I hope today you have a good writing session. What is a good writing session? One in which you stay in process, do not trash yourself with expectations and demands, don't try to "catch up", have a good entry,  focus on one sentence at a time, and write for a healthy, sustainable amount of time.

There is a lot more to it than that, or perhaps, there is not .
