April Research Thread

[Parasaurolophus]

New month, new(ish?) goals!

For me:

• Finally finish straggling book chapter.
• Comment on an acquaintance's projected reply to a paper of mine.
• Start streamlining translation 1.
• Start a new book chapter.

Stretch:

• Start work on a chapter contribution due in August.

I'm free of the Newsletter now and our semester ends this month, so I should be able to manage all that.


But first, for today, I have to prep and record lectures. Ugh.

Goals:

• Open up revise & resubmit and reader's comments; begin to redraft.  Possible to finish by end of month?
• Read for major project #2
• Begin drafting Introduction (much is in my head) and outline for proposal----aim for June?

[Parasaurolophus]

Three lectures prepped, two recorded.

April goals:

• Make progress on paper #1 with colleagues - it would be great to get this off by the end of the month, but that will be up to my colleagues
• Make progress on paper #2 with colleagues - this one is sort of in limbo
• Make progress on paper #3 with colleague - R&R, ball is in colleague's court, but I'll be pestering him this month if I still haven't heard from him
• Make progress on book project #1
• Make progress on book project #2 with colleague

Stretch goals:

• Apply for a small grant (or two)
• Brainstorm and start outlining a new empirical article

Time to return to my book chapter on the commute today. And I'll start streamlining T1, too.

April Goals

• Write some chapters of my book manuscript
• Work on book chapter due in June with colleague

These are the same goals as February and March. I am not doing well with the progress of either of these, but the good news is I did receive most of the case study drafts from the contributors to the book. For those who did not submit yet, I at least heard back from them so that is promising.

Did some of both (though I actually started on a new chapter), and started reading for a new referee report.

More of the same today: streamlining T1, writing for the book.

Managed a bit of both.

I don't anticipate any writing today, just reading for a referee report and streamlining T1.

Did some of that. Also discovered that the only translation of a classic that is virtually unknown but super important in the history of my subfield... is rather incomplete (but also recent). So that's an interesting future project.

[Parasaurolophus]

A spot of streamlining and a spot of writing today, I hope.

Just a bit, but every bit helps.

[Parasaurolophus]

Another tiny bit today, though time may not permit much.

I wonder if I should revise my goals to just get the T1 streamlining off my plate ASAP...
