Summer Productivity
I have a well established history of making elaborate plans to get things done during breaks, and then not doing any of it. This is no longer acceptable. I’ve already witnessed my not-quite-good-enough efforts at researching over the last week, since I defended my thesis on Monday the 27th. But I need to hit the ground running when I arrive at OSU in September, and I need to spend the next four months nurturing pro-active positive research habits, and familiarizing myself with some important work. This is all the more pressing, since I’ve only got two years left of taking classes; after that, everything is self-motivated; after the spring of 2011, the beginning and end of semesters will only be relevant to my teaching responsibilities, and nearly entirely immaterial to my research. The next four months offer the best opportunity to foster a 9-5, iron clad research schedule that will serve me well when publishing and thesis work become key.

So, how did the plan to get into the routine of reading & writing regularly for the summer in preparation for OSU work out? Taking interesting classes this semester??

Yes indeed! I’m going to post soon on the classes I’m taking.
As to the reading/writing over the summer thing…I don’t want to talk about it.
