oh dear, I went for a cup of tea and packet of snack a jacks at 11 and now its 11.45 - where did that time go!?
Goal 2 - partially done. I need to add references.
I find my time disappears like that as well Sneaks! I managed to get quite a lot of that summary done last night, going to finish it this afternoon hopefully.
My gym induction was cancelled this morning which was annoying, so I've had a bit more time to get some work done, done my 1st goal which was to type up my scribbled notes from my supervision last week and do a little plan. Going to do a little bit of reading then get my hair coloured at 1pm, then home to do more on that summary. Then going to do horse and out tonight hopefully!
Have a good day everyone, Nx
woo done that blimmin paragraph. Luckily, a year ago I wrote 7000 words on the topic I'm now writing a paper on, so....copy and paste..... and there's paragraphs 2,3,4,5 and 6 done :-)
Time for me to get back to work. I've been dossing around and doing nothing for the last week, since handing in my first year upgrade report. My first year viva's next Friday and my supervisor's given me a long list of things to do before then, so time to pull my finger out and get some things done!
Goals for this afternoon
1.) Write up notes from supervision meeting
2.) Write summary notes of first year report
Done my second section. This would have been done much sooner if I hadn't have been faffing around on the internet.
My next goal is to get another analysis section, which is currently half written, done.
First goal done and a good way into second goal. But during the summer the bus back to the station is really irregular, and now it's been re-routed while they dig up part of the campus, so I'm thinking maybe I should head home now rather than risk missing the bus later and getting stuck on campus and then having to catch a late train. Except I know deep down that that's just an excuse to go home early and do no more work!
Gah. I'll do another hour.
ooh, I've done SO much this morning (got up! breakfast, shower, walked dog, checked car tyre pressure, filled up tyres with more air, went to do weekly shop, went to pets at home for cat/dog food, cleaned out cat bowls and fed cats, gave dog bone bought at pets at home, made tea) but NOTHING on my PhD.
I have to do some work for a student today, but REALLY dont' want to :-(
Goal 1: see what I have to do for student
Defiantly on my way to having this introduction finished by the end of next week.
Today I met with my other sup - first time since the start of the year as she has been away, and it was great. She was really supportive of me submitting before Christmas - so my motivation levels have massively increased.
Goals for tomorrow are more troublesome as I will be working from home.
So:
Finish reading the literature that I started today
Read a complete draft of lit review.
Goal 1 done. Although it took me all morning to write 200 really rough words.
My next goal is to redraft the (very rough) introduction section for this chapter.
