Not doing research is more stressful that doing it. Keep this in perspective and don't measure research output by numbers of articles per year, etc. but by keeping to a long term plan and incremental steps in that plan. The plan and the incremental steps (not the # of pubs which will never be enough for goal oriented faculty) reduce stress because you have something to work on when you have some down time. 2. Early in your career you must be extremely intentional about networking and planning. Later, experience and networking pays off and more opportunities come to you than you can take advantage of. 3. Find a supportive group of colleagues within your specialty both on and off campus. This requires you go to national meetings regularly. Collaboration is necessary for a scholarly life. However, that collaboration must extend beyond the campus. 4. Build time for concentrated work. This may not be during the regular teaching semester. You have to find a work schedule that meets your work habits and personal life. For some this is one day a week that is blocked off, for others it is spring break, and yet others it is during the summer. 5. Plan ahead 5 years. When you are in the final stages of one project, be in the planning process for the next. 6. Time your sabbatical so that your research project is beyond its initial stages. Sabbaticals are for actual data collection and/or writing, not project formation. Projects should be at a stage where they are also competitive for grants (even if grants are not applied for). 7. Plan ahead and apply multiple places. A successful grant has often been submitted once before and rejected, so long term planning is essential. If general success rates are 1 out of 4, then putting a research project together requires multiple applications and multiple back up plans. 8. Listen to feedback and revise (grants, manuscripts, etc.). Only put things aside for a time in order to regroup. 9. Seek advice about the nuts and bolts from successful scholars. You are not expected to know how to write a competitive grant, your first article, your first book perspectus, etc. on your own. 10. Be pragmatic. Face the politics of grant-making and publishing. If they say to cite a particular source, do so. If you don't want a particular person to review a manuscript, correspond with that person, perhaps even getting some feedback from them on the manuscript. Then refer to them in the acknowledgements or in the letter to the editor with the manuscript, thanking them for their assistance. 11. Turn your weaknesses into strengths. Don't let reviewers of grants or manuscripts to point to your weaknesses, but rather clearly address those weaknesses and turn them into strengths. 12. Write grants because the activity is an intrinsic good. It improves projects and moves their conceptualization further along. 13. Initiate either reading groups through the CCCS or directed readings with students to hold yourself accountable for reading higher level materials that would otherwise be set aside. 14. Collaborate with students and share your research with them. This invigorates teaching and aids in formulating an integrated life of teaching and scholarship. 15. Collaborate with students. This holds you accountable. They same is true with collaborations with colleagues. 16. Use your upper level courses to cultivate new ideas and directions.  !
