A PhD requires a lot of self-discipline. I have 29 weeks until I want to finish writing my dissertation—whilst balancing other research, teaching and service responsibilities—so I am going to keep myself accountable through a series of silly posts. Today starts Week 1.

Twenty-two weeks remain until I want to have a complete draft of my dissertation. This past week, I’ve accomplished little due to Prue’s injury.
This week MUST involve finishing a chapter for a project that is due (not for my dissertation), and then hopefully some other stuff.
