Start of the day
This is the start of Day 2 of my review work. I'm excited about the prospect of being able to submit my thesis before the deadline, as suggested by one of my supervisors. Let's plough on. It's chapter 2 today.
End of the day

I find it confusing that I've been suffering from a tendency to procrastinate and bouts of lethargy recently, especially this year. Somehow I find it hard to motivate myself. I'm not sure what it is. It could be the fear of actually having to face the conclusion of the doctorate. It could be the fact that my work has been so disrupted that I gave up thinking I could actually work on my thesis consistently and continually. It could be a bit of burn-out from having to deal with so many other responsibilities at the same time while having little time for fun things. I must make a point of doing 'fun' things every day, at least one a day, to break out of this unpleasant cycle.
