Day 287: 1/12/2019
At the end of such a long day, I asked myself, “what am I doing?”
The last time I touched my PhD work was maybe two or days ago. It seems very distant to me and it is absolutely not a good sign. I have been working two jobs too much recently and that clearly affected my PhD work.
With an attempt to strike a balance, I do not think I have come to a close point to that. Maybe I will need some tools to help me evaluate my time allocation and to visualize the amount of time I do things on a daily and a weekly bases. It would be interesting to apply timeboxing here.
Today I did not do any work at all. Prior to going to bed last night, I planned roughly (in my head) that I would get up, do some work and go to work at 1. The reality was contradictory to my plan. I got up feeling tires around 9ish and it was much later than my original plan. I did not work but spent time doing much before getting ready to work. The the rest of the day was spent at work.
Clearly, I need to work more not only on my time management but also on the plans. It has been wrecked for too long….
