My chapter is now finally, actually, really done and sent off. (up)

My next goal is to (quickly) prepare for teaching on Monday.

Afternoon all. I am finally sitting down to work after teaching this morning, which I found exhausting.

My first goal is to work solidly on analysis for the next hour before getting some lunch.

Oh dear, I'm everywhere today. Have had to wait in all morning for a parcel, so only just been out with the dog.

I've checked my journal article progress (the top journal in my field eek) and it says a decision letter has been drafted - that's probably not good as its quite quick, but at least I can resubmit to another journal ASAP if its a no.

Todays goal: re-do presentation for interview and practice practice practice

All will soon be revealed for you but my sup reckons a quick response is positive.

i recently had a very quick response to a paper (not the top of my field though) but this swift reply has caused my sup to recommend that my work must be current and "saleable".

hope same applies to you.

i'm going for the top in my field next too, they can only say no ;-)

all the best.

haha, no it was a rejection. oh well, on to the next!

Sorry about that Sneaks.

Did they give you useful feedback ? can you see why it may have been rejected ? it may simply not have been the message they wanted, they have their audience and maybe it was just too way out man :-)

What's your plan of action now ?

Will it take much work to send elsewhere ?

Sorry to hear that Sneaks. But as you said, you can now submit it to another journal quickly.

My first goal today is to create a CV (I only have one which I wrote when I first left uni and was looking for admin work :$). I have just gone into my third year and have found a couple of postdoctoral research fellowships to apply for starting next Autumn. I'm absolutely terrified of the thought of putting together a proposal and talking about research I'd do after my PhD, as I feel like I have only just got my head around my PhD work. I'm putting all of these thoughts down to 'impostor syndrome' though and am just going to get on with things!

Actually I think one of the reasons they rejected was because my supervisor changed my wording in my conclusion. I put that the results "may have implications for xyz" and she changed it to "the results show that.." and they've said "well actually you haven't shown it at all" lol, I did raise this beforehand though and was shot down, so hopefully we'll change this before submitting to the next journal. I'm still aiming for 4* ones though.

I just have to spend all day practicing for this presentation and interview. Wish I could get something stronger than bach's rescue remedy!

My first goal is done (why do these things take me so long?).

My next goal is to cycle into uni to attend a lunch time meeting.

After this by the end of the day I want to have written a one page summary of my thesis. Hopefully this should be easy but I think everything is taking me so long because I feel like everything I'm writing is crap and that it needs to be perfect. The stuff that I wrote for my end of year panel a couple of months ago just won't cut it. Argh.

ARGH! feeling overwhelmed today, I've had loads of 'advice' from people about the interview (I like the advice on here, but this is from annoying people who actually have no idea), and I've had about 10 people ask me how the PhD is going, have I finished yet etc. NO I HAVEN'T!!!!!

Plus I've got colleagues at uni being a bit snidey and have dropped me in it a few times, can't work out if I'm imagining it or if they are really doing it, maybe I'm just paranoid?

Meeting and (draft) summary of my thesis written. Half of this is OK and half of it definately needs rewriting.

I have an hour before leaving to go to spin so my goal until then is to start to attempt to write a research proposal.

important goal: -fix the datalogger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (before 2 days)
important goal hadnt done:((( Oh my God!!!!

Good Morning! Working at home today so goal number one is to actually work at home! Specifically, I need to get my questionnaire sorted out; identify standardised tests or make up my own. Hope everyone has good day!

Afternoon all. I am just sitting down to work after spending all morning in meetings and having a huge lunch with my friend. I now feel like I want to go to sleep but must get on with things.

My first goal is to make some progress with my analysis.

Morning everyone.

My goal for the morning is to get the bare bones of my research proposal written.
