I've read the journal articles that needed looking at (Some weren't as relevant as first thought) so that's done. I now need to:

Goal 2: go over the work for my meeting tomorrow
Goal 3: practice presentation

And just to add, my computer needed no updates and is STILL freezing every five minutes (down)

Sneaks- I'm just checking now. I did install a big update a couple of days ago and my computer then worked fine for a day, but since then it keeps freezing grr!

PM sent, thanks a lot moonblue!

Hi all,

If you have access to these two journal articles I'd be eternally grateful!

NORVILITIS, J. M., SCIME, M. & LEE, J. S. 2002. Courtesy stigma in mothers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a preliminary investigation. Journal of Attention Disorders, 6, 61-68.


SEARS, P. M., POMERANTZ, A. M., SEGRIST, D. J. & ROSE, P. 2011. Beliefs About the Biological (vs. Nonbiological) Origins of Mental Illness and the Stigmatization of People with Mental Illness. American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, 14, 109-119.

Hope all is going well for everyone!

I've got a stack of journal articles that need reading, so I'm going to try and tackle that today. I'm mega annoyed though- my computer keeps freezing for about 5 seconds every 5 minutes or so :-s it's driving me mad! Think I'll be taking it to get fixed tomorrow!

Morning all,

I also got up late, but I don't have any form of excuse for it! I'm not really sure what to do today, so I'll do a few essential jobs that shouldn't take me more than an hour, and then figure out what to do next.

Goal 1- intro, prep for meeting
Goal 2- practice presentation

Goal 4 is done, so it's now time for a late lunch before I tackle goal 5. Hope all is going well for everyone!

Goal 3 done woop.

Thanks all, I'm feeling much better now so all is good.

Batfink I know what you mean about dead time- just before I got married I had about a week to spare- not enough time to really crack on with the major things to do, so I just did a few odd jobs!

Star-shaped those jobs sound promising!

Goals 1 and 2 are done so time now to practice my presentation (eurgh)

Hi all,

I'm feeling a bit rubbish after some crap news this morning and, together with having no motivation after getting married, I don't feel very productive! But I need to crack on.

Goal 1- practice intro
Goal 2- prep for meeting
Goal 3- practice presentation
Goal 4- sign up for publication alerts
Goal 5- start working out what an earth I'm meant to do for my upgrade

All of that shouldn't take too long, so I'll report back with my progress shortly!

Morning Star-Shaped,

I only worked until 2pm yesterday which is rubbish, but not too bad for my first day back after so long off. So I need to get a couple of hours done this morning whilst hubby is out.

Goal 1- finish going over presentation
Goal 2- learn intro
Goal 3- Go over review work

Goals 1-3 are done.

Goal 4- Learn first nine slides of presentation

It was amazing thanks Sneaks, best day of my life!

Hello all!

I've been AWOL for a good couple of months now (becoming a wifey etc), but I have a serious deadline next thursday and I just can't get back into work mode. I actually don't even want to get back into work mode, and that's really unlike me. But I must, so I'll set a few small goals for today, to ease myself back into everything:

Goal 1- go over intro
Goal 2- learn theory section so I can talk confidently about it (eek!)
Goal 3- go over piloting and preliminary findings

I also think good old mytomatoes may be in order too!

I'm off to a conference tomorrow, but what an earth do women generally wear for the conference dinner? I have no idea. The conference is more geared towards teachers rather than academics if that makes a difference. I'm dreading it!
