- Grant proposals!
- Reader’s reports.
- Email. (Oh dear lord, the email.)
- Letters of recommendation.
- Conference presentations.

Things I have *not* been writing instead of writing blog posts:

- Overdue journal articles.
- Overdue book reviews.
- Overdue articles for edited volumes.

What I need to clear out in order to get back to writing blog posts:

- The to-do list.
- The guilt about the undone items on the to-do list.

That is all.
