Holed up in a coffee shop with yeon-studies for a few hours (despite the weather) to whittle down seven annotated articles, two work write ups, a lecture video, spss stats output, stats chapter and group notes, my email inbox, & a melty mocha. Perhaps ‘twas the promise of bao that kept me focused.
Last night I attended a 2.5 hour class, watched 3 lectures, read 2 chapters, submitted the associated write up, picked and prepped my research article, started on an assignment not due for 2 weeks, and wrote a page of my master’s thesis. Today’s to do list includes emails, cleaning, grading some student tests, another lecture and write up, calling my bank, therapy, hustling to work through the snow, taking a quiz, continuing that far off assignment, and getting to 3 pages of thesis preamble. We can do it!! Jesus Christ, but we can!!
Had a really good chat about self advocacy and boundary setting today - my productivity at the moment is about setting up my life to support me instead of drain me, even if that means hammering on people’s inboxes until they listen.
