Feeling a little better...

Okay, so I'm feeling a little better about my whole dissertation freak-out, but have been completely unproductive all week. I even took today off from work and managed to get some housework done, but nothing done related to the dissertation. And, here I sit writing this instead, too. :) However, I did have several friends offer to help and give me a well-needed pep talk. All that helped quite a bit.

My plan is to make Mark take Maranda to her guitar lessons tomorrow and I'll stay here and get some work done. I hope to get up and get motivated in the morning. It took me forever to even want to move off the couch today. And, since Mark has the whole weekend off, perhaps I can get him to take Maranda and do something for part of the day tomorrow. And, hopefully, he can drive her wherever she needs to go on Sunday, too. I'll spend a little time grocery shopping and doing laundry over the weekend, but I think those things will just work in as breaks through what I'll be working on.

I need to spend my time this weekend focusing on analysis of interviews, which I've been putting off because I'm scared to find out that they all need to have additional questions asked. So, I'll try to work through it (more advice from friends). Also, I've got surveys online that each person completed, so I need to go in and make sure everyone completed them then do the necessary comparisons for them.

Right now, I'm hungry and think I need a snack. :) I'm going to try to report back on my progress tomorrow night. Maybe that will help hold me accountable for getting things done.
