Goal 2 done, I've eaten lunch and had 30 mins procrastinating on facebook.

Now..

Goal 3: To draft out chapter 6

I am BORED with analysis. I'm half way through analysing my third interview and bleurgh. I need to get it done before supervision tomorrow, and then I think I need a rest from analysis for a few days!

hi all,
Button I feel you on analysis, im on to that tomorrow:-( ..

1. goal for today - methodology ,MUST be finished !!

did really well in the morning and then got bored and distracted, had lunch and now will soldier on ..

Sneaks - facebook is the DEVIL- and I dont even have an a/c but mine is youtube:-s.....

maybe we should write about all the things that are evil when one is faced with a deadline?

Right, 9.00 on the dot :-)

Today's goal is to get the intro done - its a massive task and I haven't even written most of the sections! So to make it easier going to split it up.

First task is to write a section I've been putting off. Its horrible, but has to be done. I have tea. I'm going to use my tomatoes, so hopefully will have it done by 11am.

morning 9 am start here as well :-) happy days!!

1.Goal one is- write the introduction to the methodology chapter( have avoided this)

2. put my foot in the door with the first analysis chapter atleast review what was originally written!!

3. Stay away from the internet - except ofcourse this forum ( I have to keep myself going some how)(up)....

All the best with todays goals everyone....

Hello all, I hope you don't mind me joining in, I really need something to get me going again after what was meant to be a week off, but which became ten days...

So today my goals are

1. This morning: to get down to my local library with drafts of two chapter halves I have to put together, and work out how I'm going to splice them.

2. This afternoon: write an introduction for the above.

Good luck everyone X

hey Eska, feels like you've not been around for a while.

I've been distracted - my tummy is telling me to eat something, just can't work out what.

urgh, I've finally done that horrible section. I was aiming for lunch - woops! but I've done 1300 words so far. Not too bad. I'm hoping I have all the stuff for the rest of the intro and method somewher in a folder, but knowing my luck I probably thought about doing it, rather than actually doing it!

where is everyone?...I havent updated in a few days as I have been working ...
Todays Goal

1. deal with analysis section one .

p.s Im kind of glad it's raining all weekend- the temptation to go wandering in the hills is very much reduced !!:-)

come on people pls update your goals of the moment, so we keep each other going - this thread is great it makes me feel very accountable for my actions and how I spend time that should be Phd time(up)

I'm here :-)

I'd like to get my lit review done today if possible (for the chapter I'm working on).

glad to see you are around sneaks, good luck with todays goal ;-)

well I've finished my intro :-) bit blurry eyed now, so will give myself an hour in the morning to read through and make corrections/changes to it.

Then my main goal for tomorrow is to get the method and results written into the chapter.

nighty night :-)

Morning all,

I really need to get some work done today. I didn't do anything on Friday as we went to see Harry Potter, but yesterday I had intended to do work and had a bloomin awful headache all day! I actually think the headache was due to watching HP in 3D, it made my eyes feel all funny afterwards. So I really need to get cracking today!

Goal 1- transcribe interview
Goal 2- analyse 2 short interviews
Goal 3- tackle putting big diagram on computer

Good luck to anyone working on this rainy Sunday!

Good morning. :-)

I'm not sure how much PhD work I'll get done today, I feel a bit in limbo! I'm trying to recruit participants and have put up several posts on internet discussion forums (one of my two main ways of recruitment, can't tackle the second one until I've had the go ahead of another organisation). So far, no response. :-( (Apart from one, who turned out not to be suitable.) I'm seriously concerned that I'll not be able to recruit enough participants. I might have to completely re-think my study design. :-(

Anyway, first goal: put up post on yet another discussion group. :-)

morning all. 9am start on a rainy sunday- get in!;-)

anyway, glad theres more people on today!! I havent finished my goal from yesterday!!
So goal for today complete analysis of initial interviews and wind up the chapter- really :-s

all the best everyone!!
Button - sorry about your headache- thats the price of 3D entertainment sometimes ;-)
Moonblue - the failure of the methods you have used so far is important data , you can totally use that in your thesis- and explain the different techniques you have used and why you think they failed -dont worry you will get respones just be a little patient.... good luck with it(up)
