    Belated thanks to our local Witch for the motivation brew. It’s taken a while to kick in for me as it usually is, but here I am finally sat in the uni library with a blank Word document open! And a tab open to ChatGPT where I’m about to explain what my project is about and to please help break me out of my stupid block to just start writing.

    Edit: who knew that just having ChatGPT just open and trying to draft up a question on how to structure one section would do the job - ended up smashing out dot points for the intro and aims in one hour. Now onto the method section (should be easiest to fill out) and then sketching out the results section to discuss with supervisor tomorrow.

      Oh that’s awesome! It’s so painful when you just can’t concentrate on THE THING. Once you find that trick that lets you lock in and focus its all go. Hope its a downhill run now

        Gosh yes that wall of inertia might as well be the entire Himalayan range for how seemingly endless and insurmountable it is. As always, time pressure (meeting with supervisor tomorrow) really, really helps…

        I’ve also had a second coffee today which is 99% of the time a bad idea but it’s helped me push on - I’ve accepted I will be periodically frying my nervous system for the next several weeks to get this goddamn thing finished.

        At least I’ve picked up a whole lot of ready to eat food today so I can not think about cooking for a while! I do need to cook this salmon I bought on Sat evening though…
