Nothing like a deadline to boost your productivity. So since I have two at the end of this week, I'm about to be explosively productive, right?

Right? 🤞🙏

Finished up a blog post on dissertation writing barriers. I talk about getting to the "I hate my dissertation" stage of the PhD, why naming reasons for my "hate" was useful, and ways I've been tricking myself into getting the work done anyway.

It felt good to blog (or do "regular writing") again. Now unfortunately I have to get back to that #dissertation.

I start writing my dissertation on Thursday. Everything is outlined; I just have to plow through and get it done. I have a goal of 1510 words per day and a drop-dead date of February 1st. Wish me luck.
