starting 25th October 2023 ending 2nd February 2024
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)
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

“You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place because you’ll never be this way ever again.”
— Azar Nafisi; Reading Lolita in Tehran
“Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.”
— Ralph Marston
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 :)

I haven’t finished “The Fall” by Camus yet but I really wanted to start “Second Place” by Rachel Cusk.
