Towards a PhD: Raise the Bar?

Day 188: 10/5/2018

I just finished rereading and revising yesterday’s entry. I wonder though how would I raise a bar to accomplish a new commitment I made.

Sometimes I feel like I push myself too hard. Some other times, I feel like I am too easy with my progress. I guess, again, this is beauty and at the same time of having freedom to do my work in my own time the way I like it. Altogether, this gives me perhaps too much freedom that I do not know how to handle well until these days.

Indeed, this seems to answer my own question, why I struggle so much to strike a balance between life, work and phd work.

Though I am still very curious and in search for strategies to raise my own bar of work-life balance, to keep my momentum going, and to extend my comfort zone to be a bit larger even by a tiny bit.
