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 25 #PhDFebruary #PhDEveryDay Good progress again yesterday - taking words out rather than putting them in, but repetition happens (a lot!) Today less #PhD time, I have school governor business to do & it's our Wedding Anniversay - 36 years! A bit of thinking/planning when driving about #PhDSky

Day 19 #PhDFebruary #PhDEveryDay a good session of writing yesterday till I realised I needed to stop & get my thoughts organised by reading & planning again. So many things to cover in this chapter. More of this today as I only have about an hour spare ready for more writing tomorrow. #PhDSky

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 16 #PhDFebruary #PhDEveryDay a teeny bit of useful reading yesterday, but more writing/editing planned this morning. Why have I only just realised how useful the read aloud option is in Word - every day is a school day. So onwards on the long #PhD road #LittleSteps #PhDSky

Day 12 #PhDFebruary #PhDEveryDay I didn't get a lot done yesterday either, as I had lots of actual governance work to do. Today, I have several free hours and a supervision meeting, so I'm starting the big edit of my methodology chapter. #LittleSteps climbing that #PhD mountain #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 11 #PhDEveryDay #PhDFebruary Well, on my chapter read through yesterday I discovered how much repetition I have 🤦♀️ There are some good bits though - rewriting needed. Today I've an hour so take stock/plan for tomorrow when I've more time and a supervision meeting. #LittleSteps #PhDSky #PhDChat

Day 9 #PhDFebruary ##PhDEveryDay A successful hour of writing yesterday and a whole morning stretching ahead of me today to carry on. Hoping for 3 to 4 constructive 45 min pomadoro sessions - I find I need those short breaks to reset. #LittleSteps #PhDSky #PhDChat Join me?

Day 7 #PhDEveryDay #PhDSky today was a day in the field so no reading or writing. We ran a co-design workshop to imagine healthy happy futures in the neighbourhood, collaging and drawing postcards from the future. Best bit was cycling home through the beautiful Jesmond Dene with a friend. 🌳🚴♀️🌳

Day 7 ##PhDEveryDay ##PhDFebruary Not a very productive couple of days with family taking precedent (quite rightly - flying visit from son from Oslo) Today I plan reading & thinking after lunch. Then I should be good for more writing this weekend.... going to sort this methodology step by step!

Day 6 #PhDEveryDay #PhDSky Read half a paper…I know, I know, doesn’t sound like much, but I mean I really read and absorbed it, drew mind maps, thought critically-it sank in. Progress! Also met with a colleague to decide how to reimagine our rejected paper. We have ideas and enthusiasm.
