The One Goal Thread

Morning!

I've done my first goal, which was to go through the versions of my upgrade paper that my supervisors commented on and transfer their comments onto my working copy.

Second goal - the easy bits! Add in the appendices that are simple cut-and-paste jobs. I think I need to ease myself back into the work after achieving so little yesterday.

ooh I'm doing quite well, I've only played around with a paragraph and added some more studies to it, but its the most writing I've done in weeks!

Off for a cup of tea!

B

I've done goals 2 and 3, didn't take as long as I thought- sounds like we're all doing really well woohoo!

Goal 4- read info re lit review in handbook

Goal 5- write sections 3-6 of lit review

P

Hope I do as well as everyone else seems to be!

Goal 1: Get my references up to date so when it comes to the end I don't miss any out.

Goal 2: An hour of exercise. Shall dust off the bike and the weights!

Goal 3: If I actually get the other two done and I'll redraft my abstract.

I would have just gone straight on with chapter 8 but I'm waiting for feedback on it.

Well I took most of the evening off yesterday as I got really sleepy at about 7pm. Yesterday I made a list of what I need to do for a paper due this week and made the minor changes. So today I really need to crack on with the list as it's rather extensive!! But struggling to get going this morning.

So goal 1: get to office

S

It has been a slow morning but I managed to get over the mental block which I had and got a good chunk of work which I was struggling with done. I will come back to it tomorrow and aim to have the whole thing drafted out by Friday, spending a few hours on it each day. (up)

My next goal is to spend an hour or two working on my panel report.

Good luck Ev, I'm a sleep monster just now as well (you know it's bad when getting in before mid-day seems a genuine achievement!).
I was a bad Teek yesterday and barely started goal 2, I think I need to break it down more. So...

goal 1: make a mindmap of the section.

B

Goals 5 and 6 are done.

Goal 7- write section 7.

I think I might give up one I've done goal 7- getting back into this writing lark is hard after not writing anythign for weeks! But if I do feel like doing something after that;

Goal 8- add in meth about class

Goal 9- carry on working out how to use endnote.

wow, I haven't completed my goal, as it was a tad ambitious, but I've done a lot more than I thought AND I am feeling a lot more positive about this paper now. I reckon if I have a similar day like today tomorrow, then I'll get the intro done.

I have an interview next week and have done NO prep at all, so will be doing that for the rest of the evening - I don't think I'll get the job, but I don't want to look like an idiot when I can't remember the findings of any of my projects either!

Thanks Teek!

Hmmm, well Goal 1 achieved also had a healthy lunch and making some progress with the draft. It's bulkier definitely but there's so much left to do!! Anyway - onwards and upwards (up)

T

Good luck with the interview Sneaks! Sure you'll knock their socks off :-)

I actually stuck the headphones on and managed to work for about 2 hours solid, don't know when I last managed that!! Now have my graphs tarted up and can start the scary bit of figuring out how to lay them out on pages....

B

Goals 7 and 8 are done, I can't be bothered doing goal 9, working out how to use endnote, because it's not majorly important at the moment. I'm now off to have a fiddle about with making my wedding invites!

Z

Done! Although did get very distracted by watching corrie on itv player and Grazia magazine. Off to slap some bronzer on peely-waley phd face and go to pub quiz. Hope everyone had good day!

P

Thats the references done methinks. I'm still missing a few here and there but I managed to find plenty more to add when I go back over chapters! Also I started using Mendeley to collect and organise papers/citations, and it's pretty amazing.

B

Morning all,

My goal for today is to write sections 9-13 of my lit review.
