Desperately trying to find motivation

I've been so uneasy today. Been thinking and thinking about how to spend my time most efficiently dissertation-wise. All the work I have to do makes me want to vomit. Instead of vomiting, I ate, and ate, and ate....today.

I will note down the main points I have to work on until the completion of my thesis (just to make myself feel better):

  • Update the section on causatives
  • Write the section on role of instruction
  • Update and finalize methods chapter (which also means write the lesson plans for the treatment)
  • Finalize pilot stats and get ready for the poster presentation
  • Pre-testing
  • Treatment
  • Post-testing
  • Follow-up testing
  • Write the data analysis
  • Write the conclusion
  • Finished?
Am I forgetting something? Yeah, the most important part: Find a new statistician because I ate the first one. Oh, here we go again...Busy summer ahead, not only dissertation-wise. Hoping to get the first 4 done by the end of the summer. I'll be back with updates but not feeling like being productive anytime soon, yet.

You need to cool down. You're making me afraid of PhD.

Fear is good...:)
