Start of the day
OK, this is the plan. Reviewing one chapter per day. Today, Chapter 1: Introduction. The objective is to cut down words and write summaries at the beginning and at the end of each chapter.
End of the day
I managed to reach the goal of reviewing one chapter (and cut down the number of words from 79,000 to 78,000 in the process). Not bad for a start, as this was my first day of real work after the summer break.
Comments
I'm thinking that I should probably push myself and try to submit things before the set deadlines. For instance, it might be possible to submit the conclusions chapter before 3 Sept and then the whole thing before 20 Sept. And it might be especially feasible to submit the thesis before 31 Oct. I want to try to speed things up a bit after a long period (two months) of virtually no progress due to the holiday period I spend in Europe with my family.
