Just about managed first goal of the day: not losing my sanity completely. :-) Next goal: having another look at the structure for chapter 2 - it's not quite right yet, and I'm stuck with writing because I don't know where to put things!

Poor you sneaks, any sort of infestation in the garden is awful :( I had an ant infestation in my previous house, although I wasn't really into gardening back then so it wasn't too bad. Not a lot you could do to get rid of ants though.

I refuse to have turf now, I need all the growing space I can get for growing FOOD! Plus, I've never known any plant to need so much work done to it. I think I do a lot of gardening now as an avoidance technique!

I think I am giving up on the writing for the day, I have three bags of compost in the car boot and they all need using :D

Well I wrote the 700 words for the intro and now trying to get together the method - I need to finish the intro later in the week. tomorrow I'm doing analysis.

Good morning folks! I've decided to join thie thread, I hope that's ok.

My goal for today is to continue the re-drafting I've started for the half chapter I'm writing, which is now about 8,000 words long. I've made notes on a print out, and now I need tomake and type up the changes I've outlined, plus maybe writing the conclusion, or at least starting it.

Morning!

I failed with my goal to read 2 papers yesterday afternoon. I was sooo tired and couldn't focus. Anyway.

Today's first goal is to sort out some extracts to take to supervision tomorrow, and to email them to my supervisor. And to phone and cancel a course I'm booked on to do tomorrow morning when the office opens at 9.30, because I realised I am double booked.

morning morning :)

I'm thinking now that having home made waffles for breakfast was not such a good idea, I'm all sleepy now.

Anyway, tasks. This morning, I will go through a very relevant thesis and pick out what I want to put into my own. Then this afternoon, I'll do the same with my supervisor's thesis.

I just hope this sleepiness goes away soon...

Waffles, yum.

I have completed my first goal and sent transcripts to my supervisor.

Next goal is to do some writing. I will do this until 12 and then see where I'm at.

A very slow start with my writing (spent some time bidding on a dress on Ebay, and it took me an hour to write 50 words) but got 300 words done which isn't bad. Next goal is to continue writing until I stop for lunch at 1.

yes, waffles were yum, especially as I haven't been able to eat one for about two years now because of problems with gluten. I don't really know why I didn't think to buy a waffle maker and make them myself sooner, they came out really well.

Unfortunately, as stated before, they did make me sleepy and so I'm very slow this morning. I am still shifting through the first thesis, I don't think i'm going to finish this by lunch time :(

I just decided that I should participate here........... I have been reading this thread since it was created.
So, my next goal for today is to do a power point presentation for a conference!

Good luck to all!

Maybe waffles will be better for a treat after work rather than breakfast then!

Quite slow myself today. I stopped writing and had lunch half an hour earlier than planned because I ran out of steam with it. I plan to spend the rest of the afternoon reading, because I haven't read anything for about a month. And I will make sure that I make it through 14 tomatoes today.

Argh! I've had an unproductive weekend, and unproductive day yesterday, and an even more unproductive day today! First goal for today: work 10 minutes (just 10 minutes!) on section I've been trying to work. (sprout) Then have a cup of tea.

ahhh waffles AFTER work. Now why didn't I think of that one... I shall try that next time ;)

had lovely lunch of pan fried sardines with chard & herb salad from the garden. Have been back working on going through the thesis, which is turning out to be more useful than I thought, so I'm going to change my goal for the day to get through just this thesis, and then placing all the info in the appropriate locations across my thesis.

In some ways, this miserable weather is helping me work. In a sunny day, I'd be pottering about in the garden by now!

... and another 10 minutes ...

hazzaaa! Finally finished going through the thesis, now I'll just have to add in the refs and then scatter them about in my own thesis. I'd say do ref till 6, break for couple of hours then work for another hour.
