So many academics complain about not having enough time for research. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you have research that you really want to be doing. Often, we focus on how to manage non-research tasks to make more time for research.

But maybe thinking about how you use your research time might be helpful, too. This piece by Holly Tucker raises some interesting points. You may not want to use the same tools she does, but I think it will help you think about how to actually do your research.

Please share tools you use (whether or not they involve a computer) in the comments.
