You might be first person to read this.  It's brand new website.  The video gives some background, but here's a bit more detail.

Academics Only is a intended to grow into a "How-to" community for anyone interested in academia.  It's specifically intended to grow into a community that's super helpful to new people:  frustrated PhD students, anxious new professors, and independent scholars.  There's separate resource tabs for each group, and there's a monthly blog that's usually of general interest.

Academics shines most brightly when it's cooperative.  Here's a place where we can share the ideas, strategies, and systems that we think will help others.  Right now most of the content is being moved over from my old website, so needs to great advice from other people. A lot of people could use your help.

For instance, if you created a useful Teaching Tip Sheet, here's where you could share it.  If you read a helpful article on how to write more clearly, here's where we could post a link.  If your advisor gave you a great template creating a conference poster,  here's where they could share it.  It's for basically anything you personally created or discovered that you've found used and that could help others.
  • A pdf handout of teaching advice
  • A tip list on surviving grad school
  • Favorite career-guidance articles
  • A checklist for submitting a paper​
  • A list of inspirational quotes
  • A productivity aid you developed
  • The goal-setting system you use
  • Relationship tips for scholars
  • Your most useful go-to websites
  • Helpful academic How-to articles
  • A method to keep perspective or manage stress
  • Or whatever makes you smile or work better

​You can either send me what you have, or you direct me to what you discovered and I'll track down the author.  Also, you can either post it with your name or post it anonymously. Just shoot me an email and we can schedule a call if needed. 

Academia can be incredibly rewarding -- for you, your students, and those influenced by your research and other projects. I hope some of the ideas here can help speed you down that road so you can have a bigger impact and a lot of fun.


Let me know below what might help you most.
