Just wondering, what do people (esp non-science people, I guess) do between supervisions? I always find it very difficult to get motivated to start on something new after I've submitted a big chunk of work and am waiting for a meeting. It's always quite tempting to...zzzzzzzzzz.... Oh dear. Is this just me?! :$

Nope. It happens to me too. And I find that I have to make a very determined effort to get out of that state of mind because I easily lose weeks feeling free ;-)
