Florence, you don't want to wear yourself out. You deserved to take it easy after staying up most of the night before!
Early start for me today because I'm taking a big chunk out of the day to go swimming and then go out for lunch.
My goal for this morning is to work on analysis until 9.45.
Well done florence, that you stuck with it at all to get that much done is a really great sign of perseverance and determination.
My goal for today is to get up to date with the work I was doing before christmas, have to present in two weeks and there's lots of unfinished parts. Hoping to have a good days work done early so i can go to the cinema later.
Right this week has been another complete disaster - cannot put my finger on 1 inch of progress made or work done.
Goal 1 - make it to the office (harder than it sounds - I haven't left the house for 3 days)
Goal 2 - equipment list
Goal 3 - starting point for paper
Gah, it's going to be hard going for me this afternoon after a 4 hour swim/lunch break. I did get a lot done this morning though.
My second goal for the day is to input the week's reading into Zotero.
Goals 1,2 & 3 not done. (down)
I haven't done any work at all :-s What's wrong with me? I'm supposed to be smart but I seem to be sabotaging any chance I have at all at doing this PhD. I feel truly rubbish.
Oh dear Ev, can you not do goals 2 & 3 without going into the office? Although don't worry about it, we all have our low moments.
I have done my literature stuff- next up I have a very boring paper to read.
Morning Emaa! The weather here isn't too bad, no rain yet today!
I can't quite bring myself to do anything too strenuous on a Saturday morning, so my goal is to read a couple of articles.
hello all!
I had a REALLY lazy day yesterday, I tidied up my living room, sent 1 email! and watched "he's just not that into you" which was nice. I feel a bit more relaxed now. I also had my first glass(es) of wine for 2 years last night, and as a result got mashed out of my head on half a bottle before 7pm :$
I'm feeling quite motivated at the mo - one of those rare periods in the PhD. I showed my work to my (usually harsh) supervisor - the one in industry, and he really liked it! Which I can't quite believe, and everything else seems to be going well. However, I often have these 'feel good' times and take a week or so off for some reason, and then it all crumbles around my head when I start missing deadlines again - so must crack on and actually get stuff done, not take a week off!
My goal for today - finish the stupid analysis that I've been doing all week.
I still have about 10 to do, so really need these done by weds next week!
Right I really want to get back on track with work so I intend to work 4 hours this afternoon and hopefully tomorrow too (also need to spend alot of time trying to fix relationship which is going down the drain). So goal 1 - read new method an make list of apparatus needed.
just been out with the dog and now soaked through yuk! I spent yesterday helping hubby with his PhD - which is good for me because if he gets to be Dr. then it means I feel I can use the title too - which then gives me motivation to finish mine! I'm helping him again today. He's going to help me with finding government stats for mine though (he's a civil servant) so it works out well!
