About this listen
Robert Boice's "Professors as Writers" (1990) is a self-help guide designed to assist academics in overcoming writing difficulties and increasing their productivity. Drawing on two decades of research, Boice outlines a systematic four-step plan encompassing automaticity, externality, self-control, and sociality to foster a more consistent and enjoyable writing process. The book identifies common causes of writing blocks, such as perfectionism, procrastination, and anxiety, and offers practical strategies including spontaneous and generative writing, stimulus control, and cognitive techniques to address these issues. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of managing setbacks and integrating writing into a sustainable and rewarding part of a professional life.
