Towards a PhD: Trying to Fit Things In

Day 309: 2/3/2019

Today is just another so-called one of those days…

Since there were so many things I wanted to fit in today’s time from my progression meeting preparation, to running and the restaurant work, I had to work more strategically.

Well, that did not happen soon enough as I had wanted to because I got up around 9 and occasionally got distracted throughout the day. Despite all those interruptions, I managed to finish some preparation. I read through my research proposal’s literature review chapter again to refresh my memories regarding the literature of dialogic teaching and other aspects of English language teaching.

As I was strongly motivated, I tried to finish a part of planning before 2 so I can go for a run then. Although I could not keep up strictly with the time, I went for a run from 2.24 for a bit over an hour and it was such a productive run. It felt incredible. After that, I got ready and went off to work.

Tomorrow will be a full day before my actual Progression Meeting this Wednesday. I want to spend it wisely and most effectively.
