// Art: “Kleiner Prater” by Tina Blau

“But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”

— bell hooks, “All About Love: New Visions”

torn out pages - a poem

I'm sorry for making myself the villain in your story when I'm the hero in someone else's. We all have pages of chapters, some of which we like, and others we wish to hide, erase, and throw in a blaze. But a story wouldn't be a story with torn out pages. And I'm sorry you read me when I was at my worst.

not sure what's with me and using books all the time as metaphors, but hey, it works :)

Glorious first morning light in my neighborhood. The ginkgoes which you see here on the right are starting to turn!

100 days of productivity

starting 25th October 2023 ending 2nd February 2024

Rules

Success or failure -- just show up

No #ZeroDays -- No matter how hard it feels, do a little thing, a bare minimum. Don't let any day become a zero day

Do at least one PhD-related task everyday

Read a journal article everyday. Skim, AIC, full workout - anything

Weekends are excluded, but counted -- because rest is productive

Learn & practice mindfulness

Take two pictures everyday to represent the day (post them here)

Accountability

Daily update of task list here. Perfection is the enemy of done. So don't overthink, just post - even if it feels half-baked.

-----

I’m currently in the final quarter of my PhD. I feel quite demotivated and I find it hard to gain momentum. So I thought I'll take up an accountability challenge to help me stay motivated and eventually build a routine.

If you are already doing a 100 days of productivity challenge, or would like to take on one, please do comment/like this post. I'd love to have some company and inspiration! Please help me find similar accounts! <3
