The One Goal Thread

B

Good luck with the re-structuring! Oooh wine, lovely!

I'm bored of reading my chapter, I hate editing!

B

I'm well on my way to getting all my goals finished, but I'm really bored of editing, eugh!

L

Well done Button, editing is a real pain isn't it! I hate going back to the same piece of work over and over again! I'm doing some reading this afternoon but I'm finding it really hard to concentrate and stay motivated! I hope you're having a good afternoon!

L

Oh it's so annoying when you've done a literature search and found a paper that appears to be useful based on its abstract but when you get down to the actual reading its really not helpful at all!

B

Oh Linda yes I hate that too! Very annoying!

I've finally made it through editing, which means I officially have 4 out of 4 findings/discussion chapter first drafts! Just need to read through the last chapter and then sup can have them all, I don't want to see them for a long time!

L

Great job Button, that's fab! You are doing really well and you must be way ahead of your timetable! I think you deserve a break now!

I'm signing off for the day, I've done some reading but as always there is still more to be done, so I will be getting on with that first thing tomorrow!

Have a great evening :-)

L

Good morning,

Here we are again! I've got a doctor's appointment this morning so I'm going to try and get some reading done before I have to head off to that. I will then settle down and do some writing this afternoon.

Hope you are all ok (up)

B

Morning! I'm at uni today teaching so not going to be around today. Just need to practice my conference presentation later and then go food shopping.

Have a good day!

L

Morning,

Hope you had a good day yesterday Button, also I wonder where Batfink is as she hasn't been around for a few days now... I hope it's cos she's moving and not being poorly or something!

Today I would dearly love to get the amendments to section 1 completed. I am fast losing interest on working on this chapter so I would like to start next week working on something new. That way I can have a break from this piece of work and come back to it with fresh eyes.

So I'm going to see how much I can get done in one day! Wish me luck!

B

Hello!

I do hope Batfink is okay too!

Well I don't have an awful lot to do today work wise, I'm ahead of schedule.

Goal 1- practice conference presentation
Goal 2- take doggy to be groomed whilst me and hubs go the gym ha
Goal 3- start planning for next conference presentation

Hubby is working late tonight so I also may take myself off to Ikea, and find lots of furniture that we will obviously 'need' for our new house (up)

L

Haha that made me laugh, I love going to IKEA for things that we "need", mainly I love the food there! I can't wait for them to build one near us (within walking distance which may be dangerous!)

You've worked really hard Button so you deserve some time, I love that you're going to the gym and the dog is going to be groomed, bless!

I'm not doing that well today, I keep getting distracted but I am going to settle down and work for a bit now!

L

Hurray, I've finished the section I wanted to get done and I've made some amendments to the rest of the chapter too. I'm now going to set it aside for a couple of days so I can come back to it fresh in a week or two. I have plenty to be getting on with in the mean time!

Hope everyone's had a good day and you're all going to have lovely weekends! (up)

Hello guys, and thanks for wondering where I got to!! :p I'm fine, just since they upgraded my laptop to a new version of windows I can't get online at home unless I physically take my laptop to the wireless router in a different room and connect it directly with a wire, which is just a pain. So last week I was stuck at home with a cold and trying to work through it and it was too much of a pain to connect to the internet. I could try to sort the problem out but I'm moving house in a couple of weeks so really can't be bothered!

Hope you're both doing well!

Today I am doing some data analysis and sorting my flat out. Moving has come at a bad time because I have so much to do, but I think at this stage of a PhD any time will be a bad time, so I'll just live with that!

L

Ah Batfink, glad to hear you're ok! I now have to physically connect with a wire all the time but luckily I was able to re-route a wire from the box downstairs to the office which is upstairs, otherwise I'd never get anything done!

Today I have been mostly planning for the next couple of weeks and doing some background reading which isn't much fun, but as they say, to fail to plan is to plan to fail! I hope you're having a good day! (up)

B

Morning all! I've got lots of things going on this week, so I'm not working on anything 'big'. I might also use some time sorting stuff for moving.

Goal 1- teaching prep
Goal 2- practice presentation
Goal 3- carry on planning for conference

Good luck today everyone!
