Hi all,

Think I'll finally join this thread to get me to the finish line!!

Goal 1 was editing methodology. Done...references/ footnotes will be tidied up tomorrow

Goal 2 was editing Ch3. In progress - have halved the word count (YAY) but need to add in a precis of what I did, and references.

So, for the rest of the day

Goal 2/3: add in precis of actions taken
Goal 4: edit chapter 4 (findings, discussion)
Goal 5: FINALLY get a haircut (its been at least 9 months, lol!) and get some quality time with bf before back to paid work and 5-9am dissertation sessions again!

GAH - scary!
I can do it (up)

omg, hate the stupid sats. Going to have lunch and then get on with MY PhD!

Goal 1 for after lunch: Write up measures used in method.

I haven't had my hair cut for about 18 months now - shocking!

Goal 3 is half done. I need to pad it out a lot so it is going to take quite a bit of work. However I can now see light at the end of the tunnel and this chapter which I have been thinking about and working on for ages is finally almost cobbled together.

I have been working shorter days than I should for the last few weeks and although today is the first day when I feel like I could go on for a little longer, I need to get to the gym. My goal for tomorrow is to get up at 8 and to start work at 9, rather than 10, as I have been doing recently.

omg its 5pm! I need to walk the dog before hubster comes home!

Must finish section beforehand - I've spent at least an hour trying to work out where the little fishy symbol is for Alpha. Found it now :$

Hi again,

Well, didn't do so great....

Goal 2/3 still half done. I did one precis instead of 3.

Goal 4: couldn't face my discussion....ended up going back through all my literature notes and selecting MORE resonant quotes/ ideas. This is all very well, but I was told I've more than enough secondary lit in my draft....

well, I think I can achieve sitting in a hairdressers chair, at least. (Now that I've said that, no doubt that I'll probably come out with a bowl cut or something equally inappropriate/anti-social - sorry to anyone sporting such a barnet!)

Sneaks - yes, if I'm honest, it's probably more like 12/13 months for me too. Wouldn't even bother now if i hadn't got distracted by a 'special offer' with which to reward all my 'hard work'.

Good luck everyone else...x

good morning.
today my goals are:
1) look at one court (ECHR) for cases for research assistance job
2) go to PVC lunch thing for women research students
3) do transcripts - applications and speakers round table.
;-)

Morning all.

Well I managed to get an earlier start today which is good. My first goal is to pad out my literature section.

right I have one key goal for today which is... get the stupid job application off before the deadline!

Goal 1: do student work (again!)

Wow, I have had a really good morning with a minimum of faffing around. I wrote a good few hundred words of my literature section. My next goal is to redraft part of it, and to pad it out to include an additional study. But first, lunch.

I've spent ALL morning sorting out stuff for a student.

I NEED to get some more done on my method - lunch first.

I'm so happy! After being 7k words over my diss word limit a few days ago, I now have just 150 words to cut! 8-)

surely they won't notice 150 words! just make the margins smaller ;-)

aaaarrrgh!! I hate my supervisors! there are so many many reasons why so I'll not go into detail here but I hate them. Feels like I'm banging my head against a brick wall and there's nothing I can do about it. If I don't be mad with them I'll just be overwhelmed so I'm sticking with anger. Goal for today is to wade through the mess of feedback (as one sup doesn't even read stuff properly and gets all confused with what hes saying and it's down to me to figure it out..) and figure out what they want me to do for this chapter.

I'm trying to get the guts to send my supervisor back the SAME copy of something she's critiqued as I've noticed that draft A gets changed 12 times but then Draft L is in exactly the same format etc as Draft A - so I might as well just keep sending her the same document, I wonder if she'd ever notice!?

My goal is to send the job application off before doing anything else. ( i need to eat my roll which is in the oven first actually)

Hi, I'm new to the one goal thread. Are there any basic rules to setting the goal? I did manage to get dressed and go shopping today, which is two goals in my book! In the future I need to teach Sneaks how to walk and shoot a semi-automatic machine gun at the same time (multi-tasking huh), but there are some practicalities to overcome with that one.
