I see and hear a lot both in and outside of academia about how much people contribute to the world of written materials. For example, witness this example of personal productivity:
[name withheld] is the author or co-author of more than 450 published articles, book chapters, papers, and op-eds about education policy and politics and is the author or editor of four books on educational policy. – A real academic website
Wow. That’s a lot of professional writing about educational policy. Maybe it is all top-shelf stuff, and if so, congratulations! But I personally find it hard to come anywhere near those numbers. Like, nowhere near them. Might it be better if we published less?
