Hi everybody,

My goals for thsi morning are:

Goal 1- work out how to write up findings

Goal 2- write up findings

Goal 3- If have time, start looking for lit

Hi All, I've kind of been ignoring this thread for a few days, but I have been doing work! I've very nearly got my analysis DONE!!!
I have SO much to do this week. So for today

Goal 1: finish my 2 analyses (includes one that has to be transcribed - that must have slipped through the net!)

I don't want to put any more goals up now, because I don't want to feel disappointed if I don't reach them.

Good luck everyone!

Back on the wagon after a shaky few weeks. Not going to hope for too much today. Looking at one important book today.
Goal 1 - Read Chapter 3 Section 2.c and make notes.

I did it! Methods chapter done! Until I get some more revisions! :) Now, goal 2, read a paper for journal club...

Well done Algae!

I've discovered I have 3 analyses to do, but not the transcription. I've done 1, so 2 to go!!

Goal 1 - Done.
Goal 2 - Read Chapter 3 Sections 3.a,b and c and make notes.

2/3 analyses done! :-)

whoo go sneaks and florence! I've done goal 2, so its munch time now then on to goal 3, starting my assignment for a workshop next week!

just spent last 20 mins trawling amazon :$ BACK TO WORK - must get last analysis done before lunch!

Hi all,

My goals for this morning were incredibly unrealistic, but I have managed to do Goal 1. So I have changed my goals for the rest of the day:

Goal 2- finish reading chapter and make notes from it before lunch

Goal 3- go to Uni

Goal 4- do all the other jobs that need doing that I've written down

Goal 2 - Done
Goal 3 - Read Chapter 5 2.a,b,c and d and make notes
This is going to be after lunch though, so let's see how well that goes! Why does time go so quickly when you are under pressure?!
Sneaks - you seem to be racing through those analyses. You can do it!

Woop woop I've finished analysing!!!! This has taken me SOOO long. I still have to clean all the data, but I'm not going to let that ruin my little party (gift)(gift)(snowman)(mince)

So I still have left to do: Start marking, clean data.

I haven't done any marking in a year! - any tips on where to start?? Do you read a few first??? Do you try and find the best and the worst and then mark from there? (they're essays)

Congratulations Sneaks, am I invited to the party??? I'll bring the win!!!!

I'm going to say DONE on goal 3 - even though I haven't actually done all I said I would do. I've done some different reading instead and planning. And I started at 10 and it's seven thirty and I have worked every day since the dawn of time and I'm sick of the misery of this bl**dy thing hanging over me the whole time and I've had one beer and am now really emotional because I'm so worn out.
To finish, I'd just like to say: PHDS ARE STUPID. (Except for the ones being produced by all you intelligent forumites out there, of course).
There.
:-s

Florence you are totally right! PhDs are stupid!! But they are still better than being stuck in some crappy job where you have to listen to some idiot on a powertrip telling you what to do...oh wait, that was someone I DO work with! ;-) I was at a meeting this evening with people I though were going to be great, it was my first time going, and omg I've never met a bunch of people who procrastinate like it! Why even be on an organising committee if you don't bloody do anything?! I've got 4.5 months left to submit and have ended up agreeing to do loads of stuff just so as something will be done!! arrgh!!
Goal 3 for today has no chance of being done tonight, I think it's going to be a day long thing tomorrow at least! ah hoo!
