  1. I use memos a lot in data analysis, but an unintended benefit I only just recognized today is a psychological one.

    Memos feel way more low stakes than adding paragraphs to my dissertation chapter drafts. I'll probably cut and paste today's memo directly into my dissertation, but I wrote it with none of pressure I'd normally feel to "get it right."

    Today's bad grief day so I fooled around on 🐦 too long, saved a couple things to read, and will attend a webinar I forgot I signed up for now. Hoping for a reset after that & maybe a modest work session.

    Working on being ok with the ebbs and flows, both with #work and #grief.
    (Still hating it.)

  15. Coming up with an idea but immediately preparing myself for critique:

    "This is a great argument!"

    "Well, it's pretty good, I think."

    "It's a...good argument?"

    "It's an argument. I definitely have an argument."

  20. #DissertationProgress: Considering running away to join a #psychology lab that has multiple projects relevant to my research areas. No one in my program does what I do - imagine a whole lab!

    I know #sociology doesn't do many labs but sometimes the grass looks real green over there, as I sit at home alone, in transcription hell.

  25. For today's #DissertationProgress-- jk this morning I'm still processing something completely unhinged that a faculty member said to a younger student. 💀

    Still deciding if/how I should address it.

    I have a good relationship w/this faculty member, but how would I approach a conversation where I just want to say "please stop X"?

    Is there something that would make you receptive to hearing that from a student/employee/someone with less power than you?

  30. Good: I set yesterday's expectations low enough to meet.

    Bad: Grief doesn't cooperate just because there's a deadline. (Shoot.)

    But lately I've been focused on the idea of the "minimum viable product." I can't remember where I picked it up, but that's the motto for today.

  33. Sitting down for a little writing session after two weeks of grieving + doing the minimum.

    Whew.

    It's hard to decide where to start but since #ASA submissions are due soon, probably that.

    Today, for accountability:
    -Re-read submission guidelines
    -Copy/paste/edit intro
    -30 min data cleaning

  36. Transcribing interviews has me measuring time in pages.

    "Wow we talked (about X) for 8 pages!"

    "Oh they only had a half a page to say on Y?"
