I'm only two months in to my PhD but I am finding it hard to get motivated. The days go by and I have hardly done any work - other things seem to take up my time -housework, shopping, paperwork etc. My mum is ill so I want to spend time with her, then I feel guilty for not having done any work. My research is part of a project so it is not my own and I have such a wide range of information to digest before I can narrow it down to my own research ideas. The topic is really interesting (Medieval costume in art) but I feel a bit lost. Any advice, encouragement, etc?
