Anxiety is coming to a head as the date of my first dissertation proposal presentation approaches. Now that I have 2 weekends left to work, it's getting a little hairy. I still have a daunting stack of articles that stare at me every night when I get home from an exhausting day. The file entitled "Dissertation Annotated Biblio.docx" stays open on my laptop indefinitely. It's time to crack down and schedule out blocks of time in advance for the week. I need to get more work done at a quicker pace than I've been working. We'll see how it works for me by next week.
