I have made it to the office and am planning to get lots of work done today!

First goal: re-write last part of first section in chapter 2. :-)

First goal completed, on to the next one: read/skim 5 papers.

Finishe dmy goal to read the papers and now I will start reading 5 more....

Next goal: write / re-write next section...

Wow everyones doing loads of work! I've been training students and giving one-to one tuition - so am exhausted. Another 9-5 training session tomorrow. I have done it all against my sups wishes too - she'd rather I only did PhD work, so now have to catch up my PhD work at the weekend, so I'm sure to clock in on saturday :-)

I've got a rough (very rough!) draft of the section - time to go home...

I am done for today! It's 9:20 here, so it's a good time to pack it all up...
I'll be back on Sunday, as I will be away for the weekend (small brake, here the weather is fantastic)!!!!!!!
Keep up the good work everyone!

I've been lagging behind for a while now, and can't seem to get motivated to do anything, to the point where I'm actually getting worried about it. I hope rejoining this thread will help me sort myself out! So:

Goal 1: Finish sampling section

I have a similar feeling, Button! But today I will achieve more than I have in the last few days. I'd like to get a good chunk of the paper I'm working on drafted out today.

Good luck batfink!

I have done goal 1, so goal 2 is ethics section.

Goal 2 is done, so goal 3 is to do gen/relib/val section after lunch

If I can work through the stupid horn things while the football is on..

Goal 1: re-structure paper intro
Goal 2: complete intro with all literature

Procrastination station chez Ev this morning - since 11am I have cleared out my wardrobe, done the grocery shopping, walked the dog, washed a weeks worth of dishes, done 2 loads of washing, hoovered the entire house and washed the floors. B/f will be home at 6 starving as usual so I doubt any work will get done after that. So I have got exactly 1hr50 mins to make a start on reading the background papers I downloaded yesterday for the paper I'm trying to write. So goal1: read 4 papers

ah well I'm in a dilemma. I'm feeling uber tired, because of actually having to work this week! - I mean 3 9-5 days in a row! so very tired, it was all day facilitation of training on weds and fri and one-to one teaching ALL day with one student on thursday. So very sleeeepy.

I'm trying to work through my intro, as something is better than nothing. Hubs wants me to go to the pub for the footy, I wouldn't mind but its with his oafish family, so will be a bit dull, and their idea of fun is essentially taking the piss out of everything you do/say/wear so is a little tiresome. So not sure whether to stay and do work or go. hmmmm.

here's a question, if you set yourself out to read x number of papers, and you discover that a couple of those papers were useless from just reading the abstract, does it still count as having 'read' them?
