Generational Motivation

Motivation comes from various sources. I went back home to a family reunion and had the opportunity to meet so many of my family members. It was nice to reconnect and find out the progress everyone was making. My father is was pursing certifications on the weekend and my mom was out assisting with community projects. This just reinforced the fact that I need to continue the good fight. I'm up at 2 AM riding the motivation from the generations before me. After staying up all night and finishing the CP, I was told I need to work on the DP, this is a good thing but still hours of my life once again wasted...so ready, set, let's go!


Yawwwnnn!!

Punked out....comeback

Well if you don't succeed, try try again, correct? I wasn't able to complete barely anything last night. I took a step back and reevaluated the process. It's hard to build a mansion and then be told to break down everything you have into an apartment. Soooo, this has lead me to reorganize and rereorganize it. Sometimes you have to go with the gut, that's the plan. Goal is the same as yesterday. Plan of action...

1. Reorganize references
2. Truncate Literature Review (while retaining previous information)
3. Rewrite Lit Review section in a more succinct manner
4. Begin Methodology

Lets see how this works..

Opening Weekend Goals

OK, I'm back on my grind, I've taken my early day nap and it's time to get back on the pony, I have a nice little ride to make. Although teetered on going out and having fun, I've decided to stay home and trot a little bit further down the road. So, I have my bottle glasses, a frosty adult beverage, and some tunes for the night. Tonight's goals:

1. Complete Brief Review of Literature
2. Begin Research Methods

Then I may pop in a movie for the night...

Unconventionally successful

Although unorthodox, I enjoy doing my work late at night, it's dark, its quiet (until I turn my music on), and most people are already asleep (no distractions). I continue day 2 of staying focused..I've developed a new concept paper and now I just need to get it all together. My goal is to establish nightly benchmarks.
Tonight's Goals:
Introduction

Reset - Restructure - Rewrite

So the battle continues. Due to a two year "discovery", I can't use my tool and there is nothing I can really do about it. I spoke to the creator of a new tool and I can now begin my restructuring. A lot of work ahead of me but there is no motivation at all. I have Motivation but I'm not motivated. I'm trying to knock out the small benchmarks and milestones but it's all so very daunting. Nonetheless, I'm here at this computer, everything I need is somewhere here and I need to begin restructuring my entire dissertation. I have over a years worth of work to redo a paper that has been done over 3 times over...(if that makes sense).
