The long and the short though- I decided not to focus on pirate as I had planned but on some work from my secondary but much loved field. did the exercise 4x, which will be a goal again, New goal for 20th October is redo an analysis for my FS paper, recheck comments from a colleague critique for FS, and consult with coauthor, hopefully with the aim of submitting to a journal the week after. The new analysis is the last major thing to do, really, the rest shold be small. I am a list person-every day I make a list,usually before i go home, for he next day. And i also have an annual plan as a table, which is on my wall - roughly 5 rows, each row for a task type eg grant apps, paper submissions, conference and other types of speaking commitments, and usually one row which is a focus row for specific tasks that need to be done for 2-3 priority projects. With my table, i get a sense of how the balance between different tasks looks, and whether i need to cut back on talks or outreach for example, or do more.. I like the soundof Belcher- paper submissionsis something I need to work on, as I always seem to be slow.. .

Got back from conference late last night and passed out.<br /><br />Goal for last week: Get paper revisions sent off - FAIL, but did 90% of them so not a terribly bad fail in the grand scheme of things.<br /><br />Next week:<br />TLQ goal: Get revisions on paper 1 sent off, get paper 2 complete.<br />TRQ goal: (the scary urgent one) - get grant application ready for review.<br /><br />My favourite way to keep track of work is to do a big sheet of paper every 2 weeks or so with all my tasks on it (big, little medium, work, personal, anything really), just written down in any order when I think of them. Then I colour code them with highlighters (pink, yellow/orange, green) for urgency. And that list stays right beside my computer so I can see it and every time I am sitting there wondering what to do I can pick something of the appropriate size for the time available. This cuts down on endless wondering about what to do with small gaps in time, and takes only a small amount of time to set up. I am not "allowed" to make a new list until he old one is done - any transfers between weeks get moved up to urgent. I also keep the old sheets in a file as a reminder of things done, and of a rudimentary tracking system. I like the ease and visual nature.Daisynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607718568717088162.post-37725279982265081422014-10-07T22:33:12.556+01:002014-10-07T22:33:12.556+01:00My comment on the topic got stupid-long (because I...My comment on the topic got stupid-long (because I don't use special software but have my own system), so it's over <a href="http://what-was-i-doing.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/organisational-systems.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> on my blogJaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779448611795379774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607718568717088162.post-13970074865766397662014-10-07T21:39:59.627+01:002014-10-07T21:39:59.627+01:00goals: 1) to set some sensible research goals for ...<b>goals:</b> 1) to set some sensible research goals for the semester 2) to work for 45 minutes each of four days on a) research writing b) teaching prep and c) administrative report (due this week), 3) to keep a log of what I actually do, and 4) to spend at least 15 minutes on SOMETHING productive and unrelated to work each evening<br /><br /><b>achieved:</b> 1) nope 2) I did one 45 minute on one of the three things every day, and sometimes two, but there were <i>so ridiculously many interruptions</i>. And I just had a bit of an uphill week... 3) mostly yes 4) mostly yes, assuming laundry and cat tray scrubbing count... (as a good friend often says, cat trays are NOT like work because the sh*t you shovel is real and dished out by someone you actually like, rather than metaphorical and pillock-delivered).<br /><br /><b>analysis:</b> Not a good week for reasons personal and work-related, but this week is shaping up to be a bit better. I will adopt the slightly-cheating tactic of listing some things that are already underway, but hey, I'm late reporting in; pretend this went up Sunday if that mild bit of self-deception worries you<br /><br /><b>goals for this week:</b> 1) domestic infrastructure: chase up garden quotes, finance appointment, vaccinate cat, fetch repeat prescription. Spend 15 minutes a day on chores or other domestic items. 2) prep teaching materials up to next Wednesday and confirm arrangements for overnight field visit next month. 3) finish first draft of (now late) admin report and send to other colleagues for their input [one of these key people is away this week so I can't do it any faster now, which feels less pressured]. 4) Do three lots of 30-45 minutes on Crunchier, then send it back to co-authors, even if it isn't all done (I've already written replies to their comments, so in that time I should be able to get most of the changes where we all agree on what needs doing done, and draft a version of some of the less obvious ones)JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779448611795379774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607718568717088162.post-70772590992516404902014-10-07T20:55:32.035+01:002014-10-07T20:55:32.035+01:00Collaboration is a good thing, and a bad thing, an...Collaboration is a good thing, and a bad thing, and a deeply annoying thing, and very rewarding, and leads to new insights, and causes papers to take an extra year or two to come out... all in the same project and sometimes at the same time.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779448611795379774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607718568717088162.post-31754308341428337622014-10-07T20:53:12.250+01:002014-10-07T20:53:12.250+01:00Making time to set good goals is haaarrrrrdddd :-(...Making time to set good goals is haaarrrrrdddd :-(JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779448611795379774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607718568717088162.post-74650507473335887022014-10-07T20:20:40.690+01:002014-10-07T20:20:40.690+01:00I'm not as organised as EAM sounds, but I do d...I'm not as organised as EAM sounds, but I do definitely have a "forest list" of big-picture stuff like "write this paper" and I also have one or more "tree lists" for the day or week, depending on how fraught things are (more things going on, more lists). I throw out and rewrite lists a lot, rather than keep a rolling document (both electronically and on paper, the medium doesn't seem to affect my habits much), but by "throw out" I mean dump into a drawer or a folder, so that at the end of the month or semester I can flip through the lists to see what I actually did before binning them properly. <br /><br />The Writing Group approach of semester and weekly goals definitely works for me, when I stick to it.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779448611795379774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607718568717088162.post-22359280688208952892014-10-07T20:11:48.006+01:002014-10-07T20:11:48.006+01:00Good idea!

FAIL<br />3) Walk three times with the dog. NOPE<br /><br />Our accreditation visiting team was at our college last week, so I spent a few hours with them in interviews and spent even more hours tracking down additional evidence. Also, students were needy because they had papers due. It was the first week in a long time that I didn't have my walks with the dog. However, I did send a rather long message/update to my PhD supervisor, and nagged her a bit about feedback on my latest chapter draft.<br /><br />This week's goals:<br />1) 25 more pages of theory-related material<br />2) Make one appointment (probably dermatologist)<br />3) Walk 3x with the dog<br /><br />I don't have any fancy tracking systems. I keep a lot of stuff in my head, and then, when it's too much, I make a list in a spiral notebook that has a lot of teaching-related notes. But most of my to-do lists are teaching and service related. I have a separate little notebook for PhD stuff, but it's been a long time since I've kept lists going there. When I hit the thesis hard (next semester), I'll probably have more lists related to the PhD.<br /><br />I have tried using to-do lists on my smart phone, but they just don't work as well for me. (Except for grocery lists--I love having my grocery list on my phone!) The idea of having a list on an open Google Doc sounds good, but I'm often somewhere working without my computer going. I might look into that though. But I really do like spiral notebooks.<br /><br />I don't track my accomplishments (unless it's service work that I have to report to the Academic Senate or something like that).Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607718568717088162.post-64419137421819755102014-10-07T06:38:17.757+01:002014-10-07T06:38:17.757+01:00I hope that you will be able to find/make some spa...I hope that you will be able to find/make some space for TLQ--that you find a process that works.
