PhD Progress Update 3/7/22: Another 2000 words this week - progress appears slower because I spent most of the tail end of this week preparing a stand alone manuscript of chapter 9 for submission to a journal. Hoping to complete a 1st draft of Chapter 2 this week.

Weekly PhD progress: 2 more 1st draft chapters complete, only one more “main” chapter remains and then moving on to background, intro, conclusion etc. With around 11 weeks left, ‘feeling confident’ is a stretch but things are on track.

sunday thesis update: I managed 670 words today and about 4.5k words this week. Finished 1st draft of Ch 6 and I’m half way through converting Ch 7 from a preprint paper. 89 days and ~17k words to go. ~200 words/day til sept feels feasible.

Another rainy sunday, another ~1000 words written on the thesis. I’m tracking my progress in a spreadsheet. Very nearly built a web app to track it but decided the half day I’d need to build that was probably better spent actually writing… #phd #thesis

First concert since pre-covid tonight - saw Jungle in Brighton and it was absolutely brilliant. They even squeezed in a little nod to the Bee Gees.
