The One Goal Thread

Awww, poor dog and poor Sneaks. I know how distracting these things can be. Hope she'll be ok soon.

As for my goals today:
Sigh... I'm guessing I should fiddle around with my lit review more. I'm a bit confused as I've put the rationale for my topic, my contribution to knowledge statement, etc. in my intro, but I think it should go in my lit review. But that makes my lit review veeeeery long and my intro veeeery short.

Bit confused now. But I really need to get this lit review in a decent form finished by tomorrow eve as my mom will come and visit for a few days on Weds.

Right, let's get this show on the road.
Good luck today!

It's a bad day here, the black dog has harumphed itself down upon my chest and is sitting there, looking disparaging. But I have made it to the office, made tea, erm.... yeah.

Ok concrete goal: I shall fill in that missing table in chapter 4 *shuffles off to root out data*

(up) for making it in Teek, only takes one step at a time.

here is my lame attempt of throwing a stick for the black dog...

knock knock
who's there?
I've done up
I've done up who?
that's disgusting!

Hahaha, thanks sneaks :-) and you're tactic must have worked because I've just finished goal one! (turned out to be a ten minute job, ah).

So, goal two: Decide how to present results for subsequent section - graphs ahoy.

well I've done NO work yet, so you're doing better than me. I've cooked myself some stodgy pasta for lunch and then had a white choc magnum :$

Now...must.....start....work!

Aw hope the dog is enjoying all the attention Sneaks!

Well done Teek (up) I'm in the office today too :-)

So goal one for today: consolidate supervisors comments & make a plan to implement them

S

I am getting nowhere with this sodding presentation. I have a lot on my mind today so I will come back to it tomorrow and hope that I can concentrate then.

I found out that I have to submit an end of year report within the next few weeks so I will make a start on that.

Goal one finally achieved, and some small bits for goal three. It's feeling like really hard work today though, so I may just do a small amount more then take the rest of the day off and come back to it fresh tomorrow. I had a hectic weekend so it's taking me a while to get back into the swing of things! (That makes it sound like I was just having wild fun - it was fun, but I was volunteering at a community event, and ended up running around all over the place doing about fifty jobs at once, rather than just having a disgracefully hedonistic time!)

well I've realised the extreme headache making me go all feverish (I'm seriously burning up!) is my usual migraine that warns me that my monthly visit from mother nature is imminent - sorry if TMI, but being a girl is RUBBISH.

I know from (monthly) experience that the migraine will not shift until mid day tomorrow.

I'm going to try and get on with some smaller tasks

Bleugh!

Hurray! Goal achieved. Plan written, checked and sent. Worringly though the plan was already at 1.5k words. Doesn't bode well for the full chapter. Or maybe it does. I've not decided.

Time to get some job applications done!

L

Goal sorta done. I'm saying it's done, but the review is not as good as it could be. Need to spend some more time on it tonight. So goal for tonight: re-write and re-structure review so that I can print a decent version on campus tomorrow and start revising from hard copy.

Second goal for tonight if I feel like procrastinating: do admin things, book flight to go home in August, find a proofreader.

Ok my goal for today is to finish my intro - its been dragging and I'm stressing about the quality, but unless I actually get something on paper, then I don't have anything to re-work.

Z

Good morning! Right *rolls up sleeves*! My plan is:

Morning: make stylistic changes suggested, on draft of paper
Afternoon: recheck data and results section

Just have another wee cup of tea first...

S

Morning all. Another relatively late start for me today. I'm struggling this week but most get on with things. My first goal is to sort out a particular section of my presentation which I'm struggling with.

B

Morning all.

I've done my first goal, which was to rearrange the lit I've got.

Goal 2- read sups comments on plan

Goal 3- reorganise plan for lit review

I'm a bit gutted today though, I've just got another mark back and it's very unlikely that I'll get a distinction for my MA :( ah well, life sucks.
