I did write quite a bit so far but still struggling with the flow of information. Everybody knows that laundry list of studies is a big no-no for the lit review but I have always struggled with that. Alas, prospectus lit review is so much more difficult than just a paper. I just feel like I have said everything I wanted to say. Trying to move past this obstacle...
It's expensive but I have decided to work with a dissertation coach, just to get me through the first few chapters. It's been two long years and occassional few pages are not getting me anywhere. I am hoping to create a stressful situation since per hour consulting is expensive so definitely an incentive to meet deadlines. I am always working better when deadlines are looming.
Based on prior experience, once I get through prospectus, things will start rolling because I have always enjoyed writing up results and discussion and never had any problems with not having enough to say. Most of the time, I actually have to restraint myself from being too verbose.
I did lose a few pounds. Not as much as I wanted but at least I have been eating healthier, mainly because I had more time to cook healthy meals. I do cook a lot but, when tired, I tend to select "comfort" foods, not necessarily "healthy" foods. One of my friends shared this website: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/. I love it! I can also use it on my phone so eating out is much easier.
Back to work next week but my schedule is fairly light this summer. I think I will stay at the other house, away from S. As much as I love him, he can be a HUGE distraction. Like this morning... It's not even noon and he already called twice! I appreciate attention but sometimes it's too much. I was accomplishing so much more before I met him. I don't like admitting this but it's a fact...
