Morning all. A late start for me because I have been to the gym.
Just had an email from my supervisor with comments on my first draft chapter and we have a meeting this afternoon, so my first goal is to go over the comments and make a note of any points I want to raise.
Goal 1 done. I will have to see how the meeting goes this afternoon but he wasn't as critical about it as I expected.
My next goal is to work on my presentation which I will do for the next hour.
Yay! Goal 1 finally achieved! What a relief, it's taken far far longer than I allowed for it in my workplan.
Now for goal 2 - starting editing the stuff I've written so far. Yikes, there's mountains of it!
I did (some) transcription and had a great supervision meeting.
My next goal for today is to read a couple of papers between now and 5.15 when I am off to the pub for the monthly PhD meetup.
Morning all!
Today I am going to power through my work :-)
Goal one - type up the editing I did on a print-out yesterday
Goal two - plan out the remaining sections of my upgrade paper
Goal three - get enough done so I can knock off early and go to the pub for a friend's birthday drinks without feeling guilty!
Goal one achieved. Yay, I'm finally getting somewhere! Touch wood I can keep this rate of work going...
I'm back!
and exhausted from conference madness. I think I've only slept about 10 hours over the last week and have had major anxiety and nervousness about presenting. But all is done now!
My goal for today: Relax and recover from conference, so that I can get on with work on Monday.

Welcome back Sneaks! Sounds like you've had a really exhausting time!
Yay, goal two done. In fact the goal was to plan the rest of the work but I've planned it and also written the next section. Yay, I'm ahead of schedule! The question now is whether I go to the pub early or do some of tomorrow's work today.... Hmmm
ugh, I'm doing corrections for one of my chapters today, can't believe it's already past 4 and I'm not done yet...I hate corrections. Goal is to finish in the next hour.
Gah. I was going to have a lie-in today but the people opposite chose this morning to have a firm come and chop down all the trees in front of their house with chainsaws. At 8 am on a Sunday! Not fair!
Oh well, at least I'm now up and can get on with some work.
Goal 1 - finish adding all the references to my update paper
Goal 2 - summarise the final section
Goal 3 - create a Gantt chart for my activities over the next year
