Start of the day
Day 3. Still with a propensity to procrastinate but increasingly getting involved in the work and losing myself in it, which is a good sign. Might not be able to complete the revision of chapter 3 today as I spent most of the morning finishing off chapter 2 from yesterday. A bit frustrated that the words I'm managing to cut down make no difference when I add the intro and conclusion paragraphs to each of the chapters. Listening to Imogen Heap has helped me focus. And coffee, lots of it, of course.
End of the day
I managed to complete the review of chapter 3 (impossible to cut down anything as this is such a key chapter, packed with key concepts). But I didn't write the main ideas down nor the concluding paragraph which will be left for later on today or more likey tomorrow (I can't work at home in the evenings - too tired and sleepy by the time the kids go to bed).

I feel a bit disappointed that I'm not managing to cut down words as needed. Tomorrow I have to attempt the daunting task of cutting down the mammoth-like 40,000-word-long analysis chapter to something like 20,000. I'm pretty sure that will keep me busy for more than one day. :/
