[MUSIC PLAYING] Yeah. So I think it would really depend on whether the study was preregistered or not. So if it's preregistered, then it's quite natural to start with a version of your aims and your hypothesis, and then really nail down the details of the methodology, the measures you're going to focus on, which analysis. When you get started with the study, that creates a very nice structure and template to follow. So once you finish your study, you will then-- I will then naturally go back to the results, discuss the results, and then think of how to structure the introduction and discussion based on, what are the key messages of this study? And then I always try to keep a consistent structure across sections. I feel like it really helps the reader if you find that the aims are structured in a similar way across different sections and there is a good reference across different parts of the paper. It's a tricky one. There's a couple of things that come to mind. So the first one is to try and remove any distractions. I try to put my phone away, close my email, really be able to focus, wear headphones, even without music. Sometimes it just helps to have them on. And then the second one is to try and protect long chunks of time, especially if I find that it takes me a while to get into the rhythm of writing, then I don't want to get into the rhythm and have to stop. So 3, 4 hours, even a whole day, if I can, dedicate it to a paper so that I can get through a good amount of writing. And then related to this, also reflect on when writing comes most naturally to you. For some people, it's the first thing in the morning. So I know senior colleagues that recommend blocking the first two hours of every day to write in any type of writing you need to do. For me, it's more of an evening or night time event. So just like, I don't have any other distractions, I don't have any emails that come in, and then I can get through it. But things can also change with someone's lifetime. If you have children, that might not be a possibility. I think it's a lot about planning. So especially when you have some control of your schedule of when you can dedicate time to certain tasks, it is good to try and maybe organise your year, depending on the task that you're doing. So I try to condense my teaching across one semester and see if I can do everything related to teaching within a few months of the year, and then have other parts of the year that I can dedicate to writing and research. And particularly for writing, again, you need to avoid any distraction. You need to have maybe sometimes long stretches of time that you can dedicate to that. So I find it easier to block time for writing maybe in the summer or outside teaching term or the traditional academic term so that fewer emails, fewer meetings, just give me more time and opportunities to focus. So first one is really to try to read as much as you can. There's not many periods in someone's career where you can dedicate quite a bit of time to reading. And so especially when you start on a new project, I feel like it's really good to get-- to become an expert in the area. Really understand, what are the key papers are being published in the area? What are the things that are still-- the questions that still need to be answered to advance the field forward? And then in relation to that, not just read in a narrow way on the topic that you're focused on at the moment, but try to be a bit broad. Understand, what are the current trends? What are seminal papers in your wider discipline which can really guide your thinking and in formulating innovative questions? Often, new ideas come from recycling something that has been done in a adjacent field. So that can really spark motivation and innovation moving forward. The one thing that I think it took me a while to understand is that the same piece of research can be written up in very many different ways. So it can be written for a more generalist journal that appeals to a broader audience. And then the writing there needs to be more bigger picture. Really thinking of what is the significance and importance of the work? And really trying to appeal to an audience that is as wide as possible. But then it can also have its place in a more discipline-specific field. And then that you really need to show that you have a good understanding of the nuances, really familiar with the literature in that area to really show that you are advancing even within your discipline.
