Communication Templates

I am feeling a bit zonked but am committed to one more hour at the library.  Thought it would be a good idea to complete this post and then resume my work.  Increasingly, I am finding my weekly blog post to be an activity that I look forward to, it feels  somewhat cathartic. 

From an academic perspective it has been a low productivity week.  Work has been extremely busy and I also had several networking and social events.  All were enjoyable but I am definitely feeling drained.

Today, I have been focused on preparing communication templates and tools for my data collection.  It was very useful to leverage the documents that I created for my Pilot Study.  I now have some very solid drafts and will solicit some feedback -particularly on the tone and clarity- before finalizing.  My final task for the day will be to revise the demographic and open ended questions that need to be added to my quantitative survey.  I am planning to schedule a meeting with the survey administrator next week and share the customizations that need to be completed. 

I am looking forward to having a quiet evening.  Perhaps some take-out and a good film.  Tomorrow I am having brunch with a girlfriend and then will depart for my last business trip for 2011 -woohoo!!
