Methodological Muddiness

I am feeling very frustrated right now because I am fully realizing the folly of exploring too many questions in your research!  I have just completed effect size calculations using two approaches with similar results, but there are some slight differences that I need to consider which are making things muddy.  This could be the start of a methodological contribution but right now it is simply hurting my head!!

Overall, I have worked very hard this week.  I am continuing to focus on things that I don’t like to do.  For example, spending a great deal of time mapping out a detailed framework for the second drafts of my chapters, for example sequencing, key arguments and themes, summary tables and papers to cite.   It is taking a long time but it is going to pay dividends once I am done.

My biggest challenge continues to be acceptance of the time required for quality research!!
