Goal 1 done - finally! Took a lot longer than I thought it would but have a very good framework for writing tomorrow now. I think this chapter might actually make some sense now!
Next goal: chase up a few references. Then have a cup of tea!
Goal 1 : Make my Supervisor reply to my emails. Goal 2 : Agree a final research topic with him. Goal 3 : Go to PG office and ask for an agreed signed proposal. Goal 4 : Celebrate the success so far and free pints to everyone in Big Horse Brew Pub
======= Date Modified 28 Apr 2010 11:12:00 ======= My goal for today is to write the last main section of Chapter 5. If I even get two-thirds of the way through I will consider the day a success!
My first task for today was paper based, so I tried not turning on my laptop until that work was done. And I got it done super quick! Just not being distracted by emails and internet and 'oh I'll just take a 5 minute break' moments.
So now, second goal for today is to pull together notes I've already made on data analysis techniques. And goal three will be to prioritise reading for my Methodology section.
Today is my first day back trying to get some work done after what I can only class as a mini-breakdown. So I'm going to try to forget about how rubbish I'm feeling and get some work done in an effort to feel better/ less panicky.
Goal 1; read abstract for paper to be submitted at the end of July and try to pick a starting point. I am going to allow myself an hour for this.
