I made a mistake in my dates and so I have a few chapters to edit and upload and I have work tomorrow morning. Gonna be rough.

So, to make myself feel better, what are you time crunching this week?

My master thesis, due on monday, and I'm having major concentration problems 😫

It's been a few hours, I hope it hasn't persisted! When I'm having those issues I like to make a list of all of the other things rambling around in my head. Set a 3-5 minute timer and scribble those thoughts down! Then take a short walk around, like 3-5 minutes, come back to your list and write anything else down.

Then go back to your project!

I like to do this any time I start feeling restless or distracted, because that way I get my thoughts out, "make progress" on something else, and then further extrapolate on those thoughts and get some blood flowing. Makes it easier to come back with a clear conscious!
