Week in review: 15-21 March

Typically on Saturday I decompress from the week, which gives me time to reflect on the days past.  However, today I carried on in the lab and spent another full day at school.  While my plan this week was to prioritise my work (which makes it seem as if there's some kind of choice involved), it turned out I was swamped with urgent work (which made it very clear where to spend my time).  This week obviously didn't turn out quite as I expected, but I am pleased with what I got done, how much I was able to get done and the fact that as I move into the final months of my PhD I am able to ramp up my intensity.  Ideally I would hope my extra effort now would mean an easier time around submission, however, my gut tells me I'll be swamped during my final weeks.  Only time will tell, but there are very few negatives to doing as much as possible in the present.
