It was another exceedingly busy week at work!! This pace will continue until mid-April when I hope to on-board a new manager. This will reduce my number of direct reports significantly and allow me to focus on building a integrated strategy for the three teams under my new portfolio.
I am generally exhausted when I get home from work, so I am unable to complete any meaningful research in the evenings. Instead, I have been focused on completing administrative tasks, such as contacting other researchers, finalizing travel details, and updating Endnotes. Even though these are small tasks, I think they are important to complete because it allows me to maintain a semblance of momentum.
Today, I arrived early at the library and have had a productive stint. My focus has been on regression analysis and preparing for a meeting with a statistics SME next week. I also started to create my deck for the April colloquium.
Enough said. It is a beautiful spring day. I am going to update my project plan and head out to enjoy some sunshine.
