Ooh, this looks incredibly interesting!! Will add it to my reading list 📝

1. outline more
2. do warmups, like an athlete or artist
3. teaching writing, and taking your students' writing seriously, will also improve your own (if you remember to take your own advice, or are lucky enough to get a very sassy student to repeat your advice back to you)
4. coauthoring is fun

Deep waters Robert's lessons for life "Hope is a discipline. We have to imagine a future which is not like the present we inhabit, but it's not enough just to dream another way of being. The discipline is in the work required to realise that change."

"[J]ust because we cannot change everything, that does not mean we cannot change anything."

-Robert Macfarlane
