Inspired by Cal Newport's recent Wired article, I have decided to make a return to blogging. Just over a year ago, I left all social media behind and have gotten into a kind of 'digital detox'. What has followed has probably been one of the most (if not the most) productive years of my post-PhD life. I did this without working any extra hours or any insane hours. Indeed, I have probably been much more disciplined in working 9-to-5 and 5 days a week than at any point in the past. I wanted to get back to a public medium that would let me communicate my research to the world, but avoid the short-lived, rapid-fire shots of Twitter or the attention-sapping drain of Facebook.
I think it will be fun and hopefully useful to discuss how I improved my working life (and my mental health!). Along the way, I hope to share stories and insights about the research in my lab.
