Procrastination and the poisonous algorithmic 'nudge'
Show Notes

Inger and Jason are very touched by a lovely message Chad left on Speakpipe - we ate the praise up like delicious yogurt. Jason and Shainul took the tinny on a last cruise before winter and proudly reports that he can fit back into his Brazillian Ju Jitzu gear. Inger has succeeded in a science experiment, and worried ThesisWhisperer Jnr by not having any notes on his psych essay. 

Inger has started work on a new academic book and is finding it hard going. Luckily, Jason has a lot of advice on procrastination after doing the deepest of deep dives into the literature. We move from procrastination, to bullying 'up' university management, decision fatigue in teaching and algorithmically poisoned 'gamification' of academic life, amongst other things. 

In our two minute tips section, we have some Omnifocus/bujo cross over tips, remembering people's birthdays and stripping funny stuff from internet cut and paste text.

Leave us a message on www.speakpipe.com/thesiswhisperer. Email Inger, she's easy to find. You will not be able to find Jason's email (he likes it that way).

Talk to us on BlueSky by following @thesiswhisperer and @drjd. Inger is sadly addicted to Threads, but cannot convince JD to join. You can find her there, and on all the Socials actually, as @thesiswhisperer. You can read her stuff on www.thesiswhisperer.com.

If you want to support our work, you can sponsor Thesis Whisperer for $1 a month on Patreon, buy Inger a coffee on Ko-Fi or grab a copy of our ‘Text Expander for academics’ book off Thesiswhisperer.com
