It is 4pm and I have had very “heads down” day so far at the library. I battled some serious sleepiness at noon. I think this is partially due to my focus on reading and summarizing the literature. I can see why I tend to avoid this area of research because I much prefer data analysis!! The good thing is a have a very rough draft of 5000 words for my literature review completed which means that I am 20% complete. If I can get to 50% complete before mid-October then I should be in a good position to write the remainder of the chapter during my week if vacation.
In addition to the sleepiness, I have simple felt “off” for much of the day. That said, I just updated my project plan and realized that I have accomplished more than I thought so I feel a bit better. I am going to devote my final hour to printing off articles that I need to start reading and integrating. It is all about the literature!
