There is a short period in the morning that determines how much I am going to get done during the day. During the work week, this window is less noticeable because I generally have the same schedule that gets me up, ready for work and at work at the same time. For the most part, I am predictably productive and know that I can get my tasks done.
However, the weekends are a different story….
I have less than a week now to complete my literature review and am determined to submit something even if it’s not stellar. I just need to get over the hurdle of not doing it at all – or avoiding the completion of it. This is the last major hurdle to me completing the dissertation and there’s really no excuse. My future is starting to become more dependent on it as my hopes of an easy transfer to a different department are starting to dissipate and not having the degree makes it that more difficult to convince those who need convincing that I should be the one who makes the move (more on that later).
So, I really have to make a better effort and push myself to be productive/focused no matter what time of day or schedule I end up on.
This moment is a perfect example – we thought we had plans to go to a brunch so I hadn’t expected to get much done anyway, but was going to focus in the morning. However, we decided not to go to the brunch early; therefore causing me to move more slowly in the morning. By the time I sat down at my computer, I just wasn’t in the mood. So, I surfed the internet and made some paleo cookies (since I’m back in my own cooking space again! :D).
Now that that is all done, and my house is fully of sleeping babies, I really should focus….

More to come,
