The One Goal Thread

Avatar for Batfink27

Made some reasonable progress today, so I should be able to get my paper finished and sent off tomorrow. The discussion is a bit rubbish, but hey, that just gives my co-author something to do to earn her name being on the paper! I'm going to make a few notes on the remaining discussion bits then go to bed and get an early start tomorrow.

Morning everyone.

I have to get my paper finished today, and I'd like to get it done before the end of the afternoon if I can. By lunchtime would be great but possibly unrealistic, we'll see how it goes. And whatever time is left over at the end of the day will all be mine, with no more work, so that should be an incentive!

S

Morning all. Sounds like you both made some progress over the weekend!

Today I really need to get started writing a grant proposal. My first goal is to read around and have more of a think about what the project will actually be!

Yay, my paper is written and has been emailed to my co-author. It's fairly rubbish and the discussion is a bit weak, but that just gives the co-author something to think about, after all! And I get the rest of the day off now. Going to sit in the sun, I think.

S

Well done Batfink!

Right, I have spent the morning reading around. My next goal is to actually start writing. Anything will do at this stage- I think I'll start with whatever section seems the easiest!

I must transcribe 2 interviews today. I'll be back at the end of the day with an update!

Morning all,

I will probably doss about for an hour before I actually start work, but I might as well write down my goals now.

Goal 1- analyse interview
Goal 2- do table for interview

S

Morning! I've just finished my morning driving lesson which I actually found quite relaxing because it blocks everything else out while I'm focusing!

But now back to work. My first goal is to start drafting out the summary section of my proposal.

B

Goal 1 and 2 done woohoo.

Goal 3- analyse next interview
Goal 4- do table of themes for interview

Hello everyone! After having a horrible morning trying to get the internet sorted out, I'm finally sat at my desk... Goals for the day: write a chunk of introduction, my hypotheses and redo my stats.

S

My first goal is (very roughly) done, my next goal is to start drafting out the impact summary.

B

Hmm I've changed my goals, because I didn't feel able to jump straight into analysing another interview

Goal 3- sort letters for approaching group 1- DONE
Goal 4- sort letters for approaching group 2
Goal 5- start analysing next interview

S

My second goal is (again, roughly) done. I'm mainly just writing a load of rubbish which I will expand and then probably have to completely re-write :$


My next goal is to start on the 'pathways to impact' document.

R

Soooo I met my goal for yesterday (transcribing 2 interviews) IT.WAS.HELL. But I got them done :-)

Today's goal: transcribe 3 interviews! I've already wasted a bit of the morning cleaning- it's 10am here right now. Hopefully I can salvage the rest of the morning and get moving!

I hope everyone meets their goals for the day!!

S

Well done Reeree!

I'm quite tired and have reached the point where I'm not going to get much further with my writing today so I'm abandoning my second goal. My goal for the rest of the day is to chase up some missing references and then to see how far I get inserting references from the thesis into a word document using refworks (it has been slow going so far).
