I had an interview today. It was ok and fun!
My goal for today is:

1. Write down the main proof
2. send the proof to my supervisor for confirmation

I miss my thesis, all those facts more true than any reality that take me to the world where not many people has the advantage of getting in. It is like your boat reaches to a random tropical island. You step in all by yourself. It's beautiful. You explore it, tree by tree. Far from lies, meanness and policies, their fruits are just 'true' and 'false'. The trunk is the reasoning... zZz .. TBC

That's a long time I Haven't been writing here. It was encouraging reading my previous blog-posts. So I thought I should write again. Not sure if it can still help. Staying back with parents, far away from uni and suppi, with too much distractions and no any other PhD-fellow around to get some motivation from.

Sometimes it feels like there is a lack of some substance in my body that paralyses me, leaves me unable to do any thing productive, not even thinking or planning and this is despite my strong intention and external pressures to finish my thesis, do the required paper works and apply for jobs. I wish it was possible to inject a magic thing into my blood that returns the motivation and energy back to me and takes this nagging feel of guilt away from me.

I see no barrier to work but why don't I? Maybe it's because I'm frightened too much. I am too stressed. I don't know where to seek help. :(

Good question. I'm having my first interview ever the day after tomorrow. Would be great if we have more stories/experiences shared here on how to get a post-doc.

New forum design - what do you think? Any problems?
Avatar for Mathcomp

Hi,

Well, I would like to write on my blog on a daily basis. These are my personal planning in an effort to be accountable in perusing my PhD. But my posts are also posted on the forum and some people didn't like it. It is not encouraging to make my posts hidden. So it would be the best if I could only stop my blog articles being posted on the forum section.

Please let me know if there is away to do so.

Kind regards,
mathcomp

Hi,

Sorry about that mate! You can see in my first post I started writing at this blog so that I don't spam the forum but I don't know why my blog posts are also posted in the forum. Do you have any idea how I can stop my posts being posted on the forums? Cheers.

Hi . You are spamming the forum with so many posts that are so specific to you, no one can comment or reply. Can you please keep all of your posts in one thread as the incessant postings are a bit annoying tbqh.

18:35 at office,

Yesterday I went for a run with Sam which was nice and helpful but I'd better not to set a time for running in advance coz it just makes me stop working when I'm really into it.

Today I talked to Teachfriend. We shared our writings goals. I should stick to it! But Can I?

Tomorrow I'm going out of town for hiking and camping over night. Should take my paper to work. hum?

Plans for Tomorrow and the day after:
1. Reviewing Rad's paper and thinking about the possible improvement (Luk's question: why not a bigger basis???)
2. Reviewing my new idea--> writing thins down

Plan for tonight:
1. Read suppi's recommendations
2. Think of Ank's research, email Vic and ask what if I forget the problem!!

Writing motivation. Daily goals?
Avatar for Mathcomp

Some times setting a goal according to section/ subsections can be a better help. I personally let others know about my goal and that I could make it or not! You can also make a table for a week and write down the number of words you write every day.

Good luck!
