Day 3

Well, the "I will come back later to this after benchwork" has always been an empty promise as expected. Alas, I digress.  

However, because of that, today's priority surely has shuffled. The current manuscript has moved to the top. Following the chronological order of deadline:

1. current manuscript:

• comb through the feedback and take notes
• prioritize revision list

2. introduction chapter for dissertation:

• pick one sub-session and write a paragraph

3. book chapter:

• pick one sub-session and do literature search

Goal is to finish goal#1 completely, and attempt goal#2.

I will be very thrilled if I manage to get my foot wet even a little bit for goal#3.

Current state is a tap overwhelmed but hopefully the anxiety is not going to take out all productivities. 

12:18pm check in:

As anticipated today's concentration level is lower than usual. A lot of last minute urgent things came up in the laboratory too while I was trying to focus on writing.

I did manage to come up a list for the manuscript. That helped calm some nerves down.
