Video game | Elizabeth Jamison's PhD Journey

I am really, really having a hard time getting motivated to think.

You know – – when you spend all week thinking, and studying, and reading, and writing and teaching, all week long thinking. And I have a looming due-date for chapter 1 and jeez – it’s not going to write itself.

Maybe if I get up off the sofa and go upstairs and sit at the computer and just start reading and working…maybe my brain will respond. I know this is how students feel too. We are all human, and it’s hard to keep going every day – sometimes you just want to take a mental break. Venting. I can see that this is the part where many PhD candidates lose their drive. You have to somehow get through these times of frustration and just push through.

I’m going to force myself upstairs, and going to open up a work source notes page, am going get Easybib.com going, and am going to read a few articles. But really – – It’s the last thing I feel like doing right now. In fact, I don’t feel like doing anything. There’s laundry to be done, dishes to wash, plans for school to make…

Hopefully I’ll have better news later today.
