Ugh. I'm breaking my first goal down into 2 smaller goals. I have just written a timetable for the coming year and it seems impossible so I'm feeling overwhelmed. As one of my friends quite accurately said last week, I have The Fear.

Progress report, thesis outline and future plans sections are done.

The next goal is to draft the 'Background information' section.

Morning all. I hope everyone is feeling better than they were doing on Friday. I did end up taking the afternoon off and cleaning the house. I never usually give in but I couldn't face it last week. :$

My first goal today is to get a good chunk of my panel report written. I'm going away for a conference in 2 weeks, and on holiday the week after that so I want to get it written before then.

I feel like today is going to be a struggle. My motivation has dipped again and I am having urges to take the day off to clean the house from top to bottom.

Right. First goal is to concentrate on working on the first analysis section of my chapter for the next hour.

I am done with my analysis for today. My next goal is to get 2 pieces of transcription done.

Well done for getting back into things Pink Numbers.

My internet has been down this morning, which meant that I ended up getting loads done. Made considerable progress with my conference presentation (although I feel like I've been working on it forever now!) and I am now in the midst of putting a chapter together. To avoid getting sucked into procrastinating surfing the internet and catching up on whats been going on on my forums, my next goal is to do a particular small piece of analysis.

Good luck Ev!

I am halfway through redrafting this section and am stopping now to go to the gym.

I'm making myself accountable for tomorrow, when I will get 14 tomatoes done because this week has been really crap and I need to get a grip.

Hmmm. So. I have been panicking about having a couple of chapters written by the end of the summer but am starting to realise that I'm not actually writing these from scratch and that I have made a start on a lot of the analysis.

I realised that I have actually more or less written the section mentioned in my previous post and that I did the analysis earlier on in the year (up) So rather than writing things from scratch I'm redrafting. Now that I have redrafted this section my next goal is to redraft a second section, which my supervisor has made comments on.

I think I may be overcoming the slump I have been in all week!

I scrapped my last goal in favour of listening to bits of the recording from my last supervision meeting and typing up notes from this. I felt really positive at the end of that meeting. Not feeling quite so positive now but inspired enough to write a section for my chapter which he suggested. So making a start on this is my next goal.

3rd goal is done. It still needs work and a conclusion but I'm now feeling a lot better about it and will come back to it tomorrow.

Next goal is to redraft a section of analysis following comments from my supervisor.

My first goal (although since when was having a shower a goal) and second are done.

Next I will go through what I have written and tidy it up so that it makes more sense.

I have been rubbish at getting out of bed this week. Feeling really distracted and depressed. Hohum.

First goal is to shower. Second goal is to put the final extract into my conference presentation.

It has been a slow morning but I managed to get over the mental block which I had and got a good chunk of work which I was struggling with done. I will come back to it tomorrow and aim to have the whole thing drafted out by Friday, spending a few hours on it each day. (up)

My next goal is to spend an hour or two working on my panel report.

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.

I agree with everyone else... that is pretty much standard. I pay a little less because my boyfriend and I split things proportionally but I am never short of money and save quite a lot every month.

Most of my friends from back home are on minimum wage jobs (around 11K a year after tax) and my parents brought up 3 kids close on to minimum wage so I actually consider myself fairly well off with my studentship!

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.
