Late to uni today

[laura_seabrook]

I decided to leave late for university today. Partly this was to finish up on stuff not yet done from the weekend: I tied the garden a bit, updated three webcomic pages retrospectively (changing speech balloons), and checked on a whole bunch of stuff. But also, I've been thinking (always dangerous).
When I was writing my morning pages I realised that for my HOUSEWORK and ART-PLAY days on the weekend, I'd made a list of the tasks that had to be done, but for ART-WORK days (at the university) last week I hadn't.The result was I got very distracted, got on the web and did the sort of stuff i did this morning, only in "uni time". That, and the fact that i didn't have a task list meant that i was getting frustrated each day, because I had a general feeling of underachievement. It's all very well going to Spectrum and Post-Grad meetings, but in fact I only got about 3 hours of "stuff" done last week that was directly related to my Masters.
I've got to improve on that. So, what I need to do is perhaps:

• Make a task list of the tasks that need to be done for the week (note, not day);
• Not check the net / read graphic novels et cetera, until some progress is made on those tasks each day.

Why Why not have a daily task list? My reasoning is that at this stage, the sort of thing I have to do is twofold:

1. Review my source journals for Real Life Trips, and read them with an editor's eye, storyboarding and blocking them for the graphic novel; and
2. Completely new look at the structure of Gender Transition for Innocents with the specific needs of what sources I need for what I want to say.

That's all a bit "fuzzy", so I need to break it down to smaller, simpler tasks that I can tick off or not. Strangely enough, this was something I learned on my Library Science course, way back in 2003-2004. I got good value for money on that course! About time I put it to good use. I'm seeing mysupervisor tomorrow, so I shall bounce this off him.

On a related note, I'm up to chapter 11 of Artist's Way, and still haven't done the exercises (it's day 5)! Tomorrow I might take the workbook in with me, and when I hit a block in the research/reviewing, I'll swap to that for a short while.

Sound reasonable?
