But this solution may not exist.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">If it is a good problem, my brain will continue to turn, haunting my day-to-day interactions\u00a0and my sleep patterns; and I become single-minded in finding a good solution. In essence, I become obsessed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">In academia, this is common. Most of our research challenges are hard work and they require tenacity. <b>We rarely solve problems with a single \u201clightbulb\u201d moment.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">We might fictionalise the story afterward, often romanticised in a journal paper which provides an unconscious narrative that \u201cit was clear that A led to B which obviously led to C (if you are brilliant like us, obvs).\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">I guess I am trying to share that this glorious sun-blessed orchard of discovery looks \u201cgreat\u201d on paper. Yet in reality we are often stumbling about on a tundra on a foreign planet, without enough provisions to eat; we struggle to breathe; sleep is challenging; and we are sharing this adventure with a mixture of hospitable and inhospitable neighbours. At the back of our minds, we are just trying to survive and find a way to make things work.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\">For the present story, I\u2019ve been stuck on something for about two years. I know I have a good idea (evidenced through the recent work that\u2019s entered the field) and yet I\u2019ve been struggling to demonstrate the method with the rigour I desire. Partly, this has been because the problem requires prolonged thought (and my academic day rarely has sufficient uninterrupted thinking time) and partly because I have been able to procrastinate \u2013 aka do a host of other fun things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Due to a left field contribution from an unexpected group\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0literature, I have been spurred into solving this problem. Therefore, to find the time to satisfy this challenge, I have been working late, working weekends, and obsessing far too much. And my brain likes\u00a0the masochistic \u201cyay fixed\u201d &#8211; \u201coh not quite\u201d &#8211; \u201cyay fixed\u201d roller coaster of my journey.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Well, last night I found the solution I am looking for. I am relieved. I know that I have something which works well enough. I did a dance in my office, closed my laptop, and went home. My laptop remains at work and I am going to enjoy a day without satisfying the cravings to meddle with this idea more.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">I hope I am writing this, in part, to let free a concern I have. I wonder what cost did this level of obsession have? My brain hurts and my mental health has suffered (working too many days in a row and neglecting some self-care). This is tensioned against the realisation that I have also beaten a challenge and found out something new.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Ultimately, as an academic with an increasing \u201cnon-research\u201d life, I am left wondering: <strong>H<\/strong><b>ow can I find the time to feed the obsession and provide genuine contributions to my field?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Dr. Ben Britton (<\/i><em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BMatB\">@BMatB<\/a>)<\/em><i>\u00a0is a Senior Lecturer and Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow at Imperial College in London. <\/i><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><i>This story was originally published on <a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@BMatB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Ben Brittion&#8217;s Medium blog<\/a>\u00a0(available <a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@BMatB\/academic-obsession-a-story-of-working-too-hard-bbd8df0bf99e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>) and has been republished here with permission.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like to think.\u00a0I am paid to think.
