In a way it's busy as normal this week...
Q: What do I want to do?
A: Get work done!
Really how different is this from other weeks? I am still working on my data for publications and trying to herd along a dozen or so loose ideas. The trick this week will be the fact that I am on my own. No, not in the lab, but at home. Now what does that matter? Most people might not be aware, but I struggle to admit my limits. Look at the last couple nights (Friday and Saturday), the first nights on my own in Wellington, and I was at work until nearly 11pm on both occasions. Now a healthy dose of work is good, but the issue turns out to be the next day. I can work until early in the morning, but then my next day is destroyed and quickly things go off the rails and quickly my best of intentions lead to my demise. As a PhD student, it is essential to pace yourself and not burn out.
