"Writing Motivation"

Arguably one of the hardest parts of being a scientist is writing. It could be your thesis, a manuscript for publication, a review, a grant proposal, marking, a book chapter or a blog post. We tend to spend a bit of time looking at a white screen and waiting for a 'creative muse' to get off her ass and write more than a subheading every ten minutes. We try to feel productive by reading, writing lists or sending emails, then get distracted with social media and many other things. There's a few tricks to turning this fleeting motivation into discipline however, and it's more than just caffeine.
