This will be a very quick post because the library closes in five minutes. I have had a productive day, I read and then input all of the papers that I had been accumulating over the past few months into my Draft 2 Framework. My next task was to compile a final list of papers to print and read based on the papers that I had read today! I completed this task and then printed them off using the university database which provides better access to articles than my access from home. I now have a new “final batch” to review and align to the framework. I plan to complete this work next Saturday and then execute my Draft 2 framework. Writing will soon be in full effect!!
Overall, this second draft continues to be a very slow process!!! My work-life balance continues to make focus on research difficult, but I am making small efforts when I can. For example, I had two business trips this week, but managed to squeeze in 30-45minutes of research on 3 nights. Sounds like a small achievement but it really is a “game of inches” right now and maintaining momentum is key.
It is a beautiful sunny day so I am happy to leave the library. My brother is in town so we are taking him out to dinner tonight.
