It's been a while, and honestly I feel not much further. By the looks of things my first post isn't even accessible anymore.
Right, so here's what I'm going through: I'm meant to come up with a schedule for my PhD and I've never done something like this before. Not the PhD I mean, but the schedule. It's March 2011 now and the University expect me to graduate in July 2014 (normal part time PhD duration).
I have 41 months, how do I divide them?
I've got an idea about what chapter need to go in it - well, the basics anyway, and I don't think I need to know more. I've also still got a fair bit of data collection to do and round up; then pre-analysis, which is where I find out whether any of it is of any use; and then Extracting all the useful bits, code them and analyse them.
All this has got to be done and I feel daunted. but I think more so I feel daunted about writing this schedule!
The pressure's already building up again even though I felt really good yesterday about making changes to my life (which I'm blogging about on Headlights, another one of my blogs (is it good practice to have multiple blogs? Is it good practice to have brackets within brackets?))
I'm already feeling like procrastinating again.
How can I know how long something is going to take???
