Day 26 #PhDFebruary #PhDEveryDay Well, only a few days left of my month of activity. Today, more editing of the methodology chapter. Need to be really clear about the 'why' - why mixed methods? why a survey? etc. I'm getting there & actually looking forward to getting stuck in this morning! #PhDSky

Day 11 #PhDEveryDay ##PhdSky Little progress today, as I’ve been working on a paid research project not related to my research. But sometimes you need to attend to skills and experience that might be useful AFTER your doctorate. Tomorrow will be much the same but I’ll finish reading a PhD paper too.

Day 17 #PhDFebruary #PhDEveryDay A good couple of hours writing yesterday, so I'm pleased with that. Today's plan is to regroup & spend an hour preparing for another longer writing session tomorrow. The chapter is shaping up much better now but still more to do. #LittleSteps #PhDSky #PhDChat

Day 2 #PhDEveryDay #PhDFebruary Today, I'm doing more restructuring of my methodology chapt - adding subheadings so I can begin filling in more detail over the next few weeks. Why is it such a hard chapter to write? I'm finding this book helpful. Then I'm coooking roast chicken - yum! It's a plan
