It is Saturday, almost 8pm, and I am still at the library! It has been a full week of reading and writing. I am generally pleased with the results. I have 38 pages written of my literature review and have one more day left to focus on writing. I am hoping to be able to complete one more section on Monday and then the final section next Saturday. I intend to make revisions during the work week and am feeling confident that I will be able to submit this draft as per my January 31st deadline.
A key learning for me is that I need “soak time” and “down-time” for writing. My productivity definitely waned a bit of Thursday and Friday. Today I got off to a slow start and was “in the zone” but departed for 3 hours to see a move with my girlfriend and then returned to finish off a section. Going forward one week slots for research/writing are definitely most ideal, I think two weeks would be too much.
Anyway I am glad that I got “stuck in” and am happy to be heading home for a stiff drink, take-out and some Australian Open tennis!!
