More Productive Than I Thought

This is a very quick note because the library will close shortly.  It has been a very intense week at work, a trend that will likely continue for the next six weeks because we are short staffed.  Between work and providing family support I feel that my research focus has slipped considerably.

That said, upon reflection I realize that I have been more productive than I initially thought.  On Tuesday I had the pleasure of catching up with a fellow DBA for dinner as he was in Toronto for a few hours before catching a return flight to England.  It was a great deal of fun to see him and really good to discuss progress and ideas.  Also, I was able to collect some quantitative feedback on my research while in Vancouver last week for a work conference.  This week I  took advantage of a similar opportunity when I met with a vendor to discuss an on-line career transition solution for my employer.  So even though I was not writing I have been progressing as a researcher.

The above notwithstanding, I have adjusted my timelines accordingly for the upcoming months and I still need to find a way to squeeze in some additional productivity.  We shall see what can work.
