Morning all

Like Batfink I'm also moving on with my data, I think I'm almost there. I'm unsure what else I need to do analysis wise so I might just do what I know I have to do and then have a think about what else I can do if that makes sense. Bit confusing, I know. I'm confused too!

I was a bit cheeky and sent a chapter for some sup feedback the other day (I need to send a last draft of the whole report this wkd so I shouldn't reeeally have sent a sneaky chapter but hey ho), I just got it back so will look into it as well.

And I've lost a document so will need to have a look for it as well, I hate paper sometimes.

Afternoon!

I am behind schedule with the challenging chapter I've been working on, the only goal for today and for next couple days :$ will be continuing amending this chapter.

Hope everyone else is having better progress than me!

afternoon! Spent the morning meeting with people. Now I have the afternoon, hubs is at some team building day until later tonight, so ONWARDS with the methodology chapter. ITS SO DULL, but has to be done. It will have to be little goals for me I'm afraid...

Goal 1: write an intro paragraph on epistemology and what it is etc.

Hope everyone had/has a productive day. I've been trying to really finish my analysis/results section and my head is spinning! Literally!! I think I'll have some food and a bit of rest before I go back to it...

My head's spinning too - I've done about twelve hours straight on my data today, so I'm stopping now (starting to get a headache!). It's all been boring formatting of SPSS and preparation for proper analysis, but it had to be done. Oh well, more tomorrow!

Good luck to anyone still working today!

Good Morning, everyone!
Hope we all have a productive day today.
Skig and Batfink27, hope your heads feel better today.

My goal since last Friday has been working on one of the core chapter. Progress has been slow and I don't feel a sense of achievement because it has been the same goal everyday. I think I need to break down the task to motivate myself better. So goal for today:
1) re-write two sections of the chapter
2) re-structure one section

morning all,

not a super fantastic day for me yesterday ... just minor headway ... but I just wanted to say today is a better day and I wish every one the best as we deal with the not so fun chapters ...
goal for today

1. The scary section is nearly complete so will finish it today:-)

positive vibes to all(up)

Morning everyone! Hope we all have a productive day!

I'm going to be carrying on with SPSS and data analysis stuff today - I need to make lots of progress. Also have doctor's appointment so that's going to knock some time out. Oh well, has to be done.

Morning all,

I was pleased that I managed to do the intro paragraph(s) for my methods chapter - for me that's kind of like a hurdle that once over, I can freely write with my head together. So I'm hoping to finish the paradigm/epistemology 'bo***cks' as I like to call it, today :-)

I'm feeling utterly overwhelmed with work though. I have student's demanding feedback on writing, research work on a project I was paid to do a few days work on but haven't got round to, lectures to prepare for, seminars to prepare for, a workshop to prepare for that i'm running at a conference next week, a poster to design and print for said conference arrrgh! THe only way I can see round it is to just sit and slowly tick off things off the list to regain some feeling of control over it all

Ouch, that sounds like a lot of work, Sneaks, hope you can cross a few items off that list nice and quickly!

I'm back from doctor's appointment and am now in a very good mood, because it's pretty much definite that I don't have cancer. Yay!!!! I do have to go into hospital for some kind of oscopy though, boo!! Don't know when, or what it will involve, or even if it'll be in or out patient. But at least I can stop thinking about that for a little while. :-)

Back to the data now for the rest of the day.

wooo! that must be such a weight off your mind Batfink! I'm so pleased for you (up)

Oh yes, most definitely!!! :-)

really glad about your news batfink, thats a weight off your shoulders... onwards and upwards with the data then...

Sneaks ... break it down to small parts and just do what you can dont stress out about the whole lot.. seriously the world will not end if you are not exactly on point with everything .... all the best...
(up)

great news Batfink, what a relief for you :-)

Great news, Batfink!!

I've only just managed to sit down now, not good I know, but I had to sort a couple of things and do some food shopping to do. After 2 days of having toast for breakie and lunch and soup for dinner, I'd thought I'd better go. At least I won't have to go again until all of this is done I think!

By the way, my head is much better Squaredot, I think it was just overloaded and frustrated, thank you for asking.

Goal for today, I only have a couple, one is to chase up two references but I'm hoping this won't take long and the other is to finish my analysis.
