This is going to be another relatively short post because my ride is arriving in 15 minutes. Last weekend I was enjoying a mini-vacation in NYC with my partner so I was not sure how productive I would be today. It feels like ages since I was at the library. I guess the break was good for me because I was able to “hit the ground running” today and am pleased with my output and focus. I worked on two decks, read a research paper and summarized it, immediately, into my spreadsheet. I now have to update my project plan for the week ahead and pack up.
Work continues to be exceedingly busy, but I am managing to find doable tasks to keep my momentum going during the week. For example, I try to read a statistics book on the train to/from work. In the evenings I have been completing internet searches for academic papers, scheduling stakeholder meetings and staying on top of academic emails. It is not a lot of dedicated time, but at least I am completing some tasks. That said, I am hoping to take a week off work in early November to do some intensive writing and reading.
It is a beautiful sunny day so I am eager to depart for some tennis. We are hosting Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow so looking forward to lots of turkey and fixings!!
