Now is the time of year when academics typically say to themselves, "I have a great big junk of time so I can get all that writing done that I have been putting off," whether it's their master's thesis, dissertation, articles or books.

Perhaps on this Friday, you are feeling extra tired from all those preparations and the combination of joy and strain that having friends and family members underfoot can cause.
