Thread on grad school in COVID-19 times:

I haven’t been productive. From not finishing readings, behind on teaching, to not exercising, it’s taken a toll on my confidence. How come I can't balance school when I have all this time now? 1/4 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
But I realized: it’s not me. I’ve spent the last year developing my life to fit the shape of grad school: from balancing teaching, reading/writing, working part-time, to self-care habits like exercise and diet. In an instant, those routines I had worked so hard on vanished. 2/4
This lack of productivity isn’t a comment on myself, but on how the shape of life radically changed. Naturally I’ve been unproductive as a result and it's 100% okay that I am struggling a bit to fit into my new life. 3/4
So, fellow struggling grad student (or anyone), let's do what we can today and not take it personally. 4/4
