Accidentally had an energy drink and coffee in the same 3 hours window and now I have a phantom tension headache and a number of apprehensions <3

Why is half of my time going into finding and organising my readings?

🗂️ today’s focus:

finish this draft of chapter 1!!!

🕰️ what i did:

so i've split it down into 4 sections, and i finished 1 yesterday, so i've got the other three to write today. we're at about 2,000 words as of 10:00 it's nearly 11:00 and i've got about 2,500 words extra. this is a minor problem as i'd allowed about 4,500 words per chapter in my plan and we are already about to hit that target, and i still have one more section to go. so. i have finished the draft and sent it to my supervisor!! it's currently 5400-ish words, which is quite a few more than intended, but we will see what he says.

📌 notes/thoughts:

i'm in uni today, and it is so much easier to focus here than at home. at the suggestion of my housemate (apparently because i "type forcefully") i am listening to Leroy Anderson's The Typewriter. a piece of music that has a typewriter as an instrument.

🌙 tomorrow:

rest! i'm also at work in the afternoon, but i'll take the morning off.

☕ brew:

iced coffee ofc, uni cafe

School prep has begun.

I hope I have not bitten off more than I can chew with the internship, Substack, my project, full time school, content creation and TRYING TO STILL find a job. Ontop of a social life. It is so... odd to me seeing everyone do everything seemingly effortlessly. Then I have to remind myself its social media and just a mask, not the real thing.

My project is going along well, mostly been spending time outside these days but I am outlining these next few chapters because I always get stuck here.

🗂️ today’s focus:

finish the cleveland cripple survey (my last source to read!!!) and then continue drafting chapter 1

🕰️ what i did:

all of my reading finished 🤯 genuinely an insane feeling, i want to just keep researching, because there's a very loud voice in the back of my mind saying that i still don't have enough sources, but we need to write now!!!!! made a mindmap plan for chapter 1 (put in seperate post) with the quotes in and organised.

📌 notes/thoughts:

i emailed my supervisor to let him know that i want to have a draft of chapter 1 to him by the end of the week so we can both hold me accountable for this. 10/10 adhd hack, would recommend

🌙 tomorrow:

work in the morning continue chapter 1 mindmap by adding more analysis and then start turning that into actual prose

☕ brew:

iced coffee from the uni cafe 🧋🤎
