This week I wanted to spend some time planning out my work for the next few months. In the end this never happened as I started to write a paper draft. The message from my supervisor and others in the science community is clear, "publish." As much as I'd like to put all my time into jobs in the lab, writing is a big part of a PhD and I can't put it off any longer. Also, the soon I finish writing, the sooner I can be back to doing the other stuff I want to do.
That said, I am (and will) take small bits and pieces of my days to do my own things in the lab. Also, I am not finished all the experiments I need to complete my thesis, so I need time to keep progress moving along. Finally, I'll have a few odds and ends tasks for my current draft. All of which will help relieve me from constant writing. I guess the struggle will be to balance my time and simultaneously make progress on all fronts.
