Second week of the year has already gone by, and activity is starting to pick up again.
Work related activities have resumed in their always fast pace, but I’ve been managing to keep at least a good balance and step back from things. Some planning has been completed, and lots of meetings scheduled. Let’s see for how long I can keep the commitment of no more than 5 meetings a day. By looking at the calendar, it may not last long, but…
Academically speaking it was quite a productive week. Final paper with research design was delivered, and at the same time the effort helped me refine the hypotheses and literature review. Whereas the result is a far cry from what my thesis should be, at least I start having a general idea of what I don’t know and what I need to go after. The upcoming Research Workshop about academic articles is opening up a new realm of possibilities – and showing me new paths for things I have done differently in the past when submitting articles (and struggling while doing it).
And…
- Started with the 30 day cleaning routine suggested by Apartment Therapy. Looking good so far.
- Loved this article on how to have the best year of your life (stolen from Dani’s Twitter stream)
- A little bit bummed out that my yoga books by Iyengar were left in Brazil, but started reading something along the same lines via Kindle. And hopefully I can get back on track.
