Love this art by Christopher Vorlet in The Chronicle of Higher Education. This is about how those in the academia experience anxiety and the never-ending feeling that there is not such thing as “enough”. I was shocked by this quote: “Academia is like a pie-eating contest where the reward is more pie.”
Productivity anxiety: the uneasy feeling that there is always something left to do.

You should make it hard on yourself to write so you’re easier to read.
