Meeting your bodyguard

This summer one of my favorite higher education news sources, Inside Higher Ed, is running a series on summer writing productivity.  Although it's a pretty niche audience, these posts have relevance for anyone seeking to boost productivity.

Today's post, Meet Your Bodyguard, contains many useful tips on starting writing projects, but I think the biggest tip this post offers is that YOU are responsible for your own productivity.  Most people who I meet who are productive know this, and that's what makes the difference.  Those who blame outside forces (my job is too much for me, my family is too demanding) often don't have the sense of responsibility for their time necessary to make the most of it.

Check out the series and think about how you may be standing in the way of your own productivity.
