It has been an incredibly productive week of research. I am very pleased with my progress and thoroughly enjoyed each day. For the first time since I began my doctoral journey I felt that I was “in the zone”. The time flew by and I thoroughly enjoyed digging into the data and experiencing the unfolding story.
I made very good progress with sharpening both my SPSS and EXCEL skills through trial and error and leveraging my “For Dummies” books. I am also starting to realize the importance of keeping a log of all your decisions and steps in analyzing the data because you may need to reverse them and it is very easy to forget what has been done.
In many ways I wish that I had booked two weeks off to commit to this, but I am going to stick to my plan of taking the weekend off. My final task for today is to create a plan for the upcoming weeks. I am looking forward to the evening, we are planning tennis and then going to a concert. Let the fun and frolic begin!!
