Any thoughts on getting through the lull between projects? (And yes, of course I have other things in the background, but I'm talking about when main projects end--i.e., moving from dissertation to new work, etc)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-6057443498669998382012-08-21T17:07:44.702-07:002012-08-21T17:07:44.702-07:00I enjoy and profit from your blog.

But, that's because of having a good intuitive sense of how long things will take. It's also because it isn't the list that helps, it's making sure daily that I feel well and give myself time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-59522679109320429212012-08-07T08:29:01.639-07:002012-08-07T08:29:01.639-07:00Thank you for inspiring me!

I followed your advices on how to write every day, how to do the literature review and they save me!<br />I really like to thank you for sharing the pomodoro technique! I really loved it! I am very productive every day, so I don’t feel guilt anymore.Instead I feel very creative! Additionally, I manage to have free time every day for relaxing and exercising!<br /><br />I agree with you that writing down really helps! My goal for this month is to finish my chapter on the concept of Identity. My goal for this year is to defend my thesis before December!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
