Week 2: Days 1 and 2
Readings: Some articles from the journal Quality & Quantity and Qualitative Sociology.
Other work: printing some other articles I had collected from LSE library.
Satisfaction level: low-medium.
Definitely I need to make a huge change in my working habits. In the last two weeks, I came up with a whole collection of “just need to do this before working for PhD” excuses. Amongst top five are certainly:
- I am hungry, I should just eat something more to be able to work properly (I gained a few kilos as a result;). Not that I would only eat a snack, I have even started cooking like crazy.);
- I need to go to the loo;
- Just need to call my mum before I start or continue (I added up quite some tolars to my phone bill);
- I need to clean my desk;
- I need to tidy up my apartment.
All small tasks but they can eat up an incredible amount of time. Tomorrow is day 3, my desk is freshly clean, my apartment super tidy and I think it’s time to follow the right pace.
