Oh dear Sneaks, that sounds stressful. Enjoy your week in London!

My first goal, thesis outline, is finally done. The holiday my friend was going to book for us this morning was all booked up so I spent a good chunk of the morning finding something else :$ But this is now all booked! I may skip the gym at 5 and work out at home later because I really need to get on with work.

My second goal is to redraft the body of my end of year report.

I didn't finish my goal yesterday. I need to add a lot more detail than I first anticipated plus I had a phone call from my friend at 4pm telling me that the flight company we were due to go away with next week has gone bust. So I spent the rest of my time yesterday panicking and making sure we can get our money back before finding an alternative holiday for us to book. :-)

So my first goal is to finish my thesis outline.

Well done getting your chapter sent off Algaequeen.

Goal 1 done. Starting to panic a little less. Can you tell that I hate Mondays? Goal 2 is to finalise my thesis outline.

I am having a bad day. I have a terrible headache, feel quite depressed and couldn't get up this morning. I'm now feeling panicky because I have to sort everything for my end of year panel by the end of this week. The report is more or less written but there is no time for my stand in supervisor to read through it beforehand (it took her 2 months to get round to reading and commenting on a draft chapter I sent her, and even then she only got through half of it before having to do some other work which was more urgent). There are also various admin things which need to be sorted out and I don't want to miss anything out as I'm out of the country next week and won't be able to sort things out then.

Right. First goal is to sort out my skills training record.

Wow, I managed to do 14 tomatoes for the first time in ages and didn't run out of steam at all. The literature section I am working on is now almost done (up)

Now I am off to the gym.

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.

Morning all.

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

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.

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.

Morning all.

My first goal is to do one piece of analysis.

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.

The first section is done. Wasn't as bad as I thought once I got on with things. Next up is the second section.

OK so I got sod all done yesterday.

So my goal for today is to redraft 2 sections of analysis.

Morning all.

I am feeling very groggy after getting back from holiday late last night and due to a 7 hour flight delay I have lots of things to sort out which I had planned to do yesterday when I got back. But rather than writing off the whole day I am going to rewrite one analysis section now that I have had comments back from both of my supervisors.

OK. I am almost happy with 2 of the analytic sections for my chapter, but one of them needs more work. My next goal is to sort this section out. If I do this it means that I will then have a decent complete draft of the analyses for this chapter. This will be a good place to be able to leave things before I go away as then all I need to do is to sort out the introduction (which is half written), write the discussion and then tweak it all and send to my supervisors. Woo.

So, on with the final section of the analysis...
