Writing a proposal is not linear. Some days you write full sections, while others barely a few sentences. Don't avoid the difficult parts. Stick with them, even if you feel unproductive. In the depth of your mind, you come up with a solution. Too many people give up too early.

When you start as an Assistant Professor, some of the most important things to learn are:
- Who is making decisions
- Which are soft and which are hard deadlines
- Who can you ask for help (mentor)
- Who solves problems in your department
- What is valued for tenure/promotion

Nice little feature from @TextExpander. It gives me summary of how many snippets I have expanded this year and how much time I have saved. For me is two full days of working by typing less. 🥳
Btw., you also get a weekly summary in your email!

"People fail in life not because they aim high and miss, but they aim low and hit." - Les Brown
Choose your goals accordingly. If you never (or seldomly) fail, aim low. If every paper submission gets accepted, you aim at the wrong level.
