This is how it's going to have to be.
Writing a dissertation is seriously one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life. Chapter 3 is due this coming Friday and I really need to pick up the pace. For real.
On top of that, there's a little book review to revise and resubmit and there are already postdoc applications that are due soon.
I can't believe I've gotten this far with such reluctance to get things done. Like, I'm the laziest "overachiever" there ever was. I am so serious. I've totally shut myself off of social media, I get up every morning at 5:45, I go work out, I get to the library between 8:00 and 8:15am, stay until 5pm, and I (try to) go to bed every night between 9:30 and 10:00pm. I'm trying my best to regiment my life to allow writeyourdissertation to seep into my bones and consciousness, but still. I still get super distracted (Pomodoro notwithstanding), I still stare at my cursor blinking for hours without any writing produced and I still question if I'm really cut out for this.
Whether I'm cut out for it or not, I'm going to finish. I have to finish. I have no choice. I mean, I guess I do have a choice, but the consequences of not finishing are pretty darn undesirable.
This is just where I'm at. In the thick of it. This is all I'm going to be blogging about, probably, until it's done. So...onward.
