Blog Birthday!

Yesterday was PhD talk's commencement birthday. One twelvemonth since my commencement spider web log post, together with I must enjoin it has been a dandy experience.

I started off this spider web log to choke on rail of how I am doing with my resolutions (stay focused together with discovery a work-life balance), but this spider web log has taken many directions. I've flora a way to write most my research, what it agency to exercise research, together with many other remotely related topics.

Here's a large "Thank you" for my readers together with subscribers! I never idea my writing would last read inwards the commencement place, but I'm glad to encounter your comments together with input! Thank y'all all together with thus much!

So, later a year, how am I doing with my resolutions?
1. Stay focused
Major improvements! My powerfulness to focus together with concentrate has greatly increased - partially because I possess got been preparation my concentration "muscle", but also partially because I experience to a greater extent than time-pressure on the unlike tasks I am juggling, which makes me ready to a higher way of concentration.

2. Work-life balance
I nevertheless pass to a greater extent than hours on my PhD than what you'd pass on a "normal" job, but I taste it a lot, together with learn a lot of unloose energy together with joy out of doing interrogation - peculiarly when I "find" something. It looks similar a work-life residuum to me agency a large shot of go together with a large shot of "life" inwards there, together with equally piffling "idling" fourth dimension equally possible. I've been working out a lot, playing music a lot, writing inwards my dairy, blogging, occasionally writing poems together with drawing, reading Good Books, modeling, making scrapbooks, spending fourth dimension inwards nature, spending fourth dimension with my family, traveling, sleeping to a greater extent than together with trying out novel recipes (to advert a few). You powerfulness learn tired past times precisely reading this list, but I've flora that to choke on going is what actually fuels me. An eve inwards forepart of the TV precisely feels similar wasted fourth dimension to me.

Research-wise it has been an amazing year, too. I've started to experience confident most my interrogation together with to grow equally a teacher. Currently, I'm juggling a crazy total of unlike tasks - together with I totally honey it. Since I possess got a occupation with authority, the liberty of academia seems to induce me to perform inwards an optimal way.

Personally, too, this past times twelvemonth (I was 25) has been alongside my altitude three favorite life-years always (together with 23 together with 17).
