Afternoon all. I am just sitting down to work after spending all morning in meetings and having a huge lunch with my friend. I now feel like I want to go to sleep but must get on with things.

My first goal is to make some progress with my analysis.

Meeting and (draft) summary of my thesis written. Half of this is OK and half of it definately needs rewriting.

I have an hour before leaving to go to spin so my goal until then is to start to attempt to write a research proposal.

My first goal is done (why do these things take me so long?).

My next goal is to cycle into uni to attend a lunch time meeting.

After this by the end of the day I want to have written a one page summary of my thesis. Hopefully this should be easy but I think everything is taking me so long because I feel like everything I'm writing is crap and that it needs to be perfect. The stuff that I wrote for my end of year panel a couple of months ago just won't cut it. Argh.

Sorry to hear that Sneaks. But as you said, you can now submit it to another journal quickly.

My first goal today is to create a CV (I only have one which I wrote when I first left uni and was looking for admin work :$). I have just gone into my third year and have found a couple of postdoctoral research fellowships to apply for starting next Autumn. I'm absolutely terrified of the thought of putting together a proposal and talking about research I'd do after my PhD, as I feel like I have only just got my head around my PhD work. I'm putting all of these thoughts down to 'impostor syndrome' though and am just going to get on with things!

I just passed my viva!!!

Well done!

Afternoon all. I am finally sitting down to work after teaching this morning, which I found exhausting.

My first goal is to work solidly on analysis for the next hour before getting some lunch.

My chapter is now finally, actually, really done and sent off. (up)

My next goal is to (quickly) prepare for teaching on Monday.

Don't worry Sneaks, you'll break out of it soon. Phases like that are just part of the process.

A late start for me because I had a fair bit to drink last night and got up late :$ I only have a couple of hours this morning too because I'm catching up with people in my home town this afternoon.

My first goal is to have a final look over my chapter and sort out any problems with the reference list (I've only recently really started using Refworks so I'm sure there will be a few) and to send it off to my supervisors. And also to agree a concrete deadline with them for my next chapter because I could have had this one finished ages ago but kept putting it off towards the end because I had no official deadline.

Analysis sections are done. (up)

Next up is the conclusion.

It must feel good to have your CDL paid off Sneaks! Another couple of years to go for me :-(

I have finally sorted out the introduction section (this took longer and it should due to having a tea break and catching up with my Mum!).

Next up is the analysis sections.

Morning everyone. I have really been slacking and haven't got much done this week at all. I'm staying at my parent's house until Sunday and am working in my Dad's office. Hopefully the change of scenery will help me focus today!

My goal for today is to get my chapter done and emailed to my supervisors.

Morning. My first goal is to get one piece of analysis done in the next hour (before taking my bike to the students union for a free MOT).

Oh dear. I got up SO LATE today. I managed an hour or so of work this morning and am just settling down to work after a lunch time spin class.

My first goal is to rewrite the two very rough analyses I started the other day.

Morning all. I have spent the morning teaching and now need to get on with things.

My goal for today is to head up to the library to work there and to get my introduction section properly finished. After an early lunch.
