This is, indeed, the Year of Getting Stuff Done or at least The Two Weeks of Getting Stuff Done. I’ve been super-productive the past couple of weeks, without going over my 60 hour time limit. My Procrastinators Anonymous membership card may be revoked (if only the membership could get around to it). The boost in productivity can be contributed to things (finally!) making good progress. Scientific success is sort of like crack. Just a taste and I’m hooked.

thats awesome! hope the good karma keeps coming!
congratz! I hope the crack buzz doesn’t wear off!
great to hear! Good luck with moving on in good pace without killing 60 hours in the future.
I would like be able to revoke my membership (I got it as a Christmas pressie a few years back me thinks…) too. I guess I will see what happens…. 😉
Ok…that’s my quote for the semester:
“Scientific success is like crack. Just a taste and I’m hooked.”
Hopefully my card will get revoked. Got deadlines this week so it’s sorta now or never.
That is great! Here’s to keeping it (sustainably) going!
Terrific! Isn’t it amazing to realize how much effort it takes to keep pushing on when things aren’t going well? It’s so much easier when stuff works.
Congrats. Sounds like you’re on quite the roll.
Scientist Mother: Thanks! Me too! I volunteered earlier this semester for a job in the department and I’m hoping that this is the payoff 🙂
Mimi: It hasn’t so far! And I think this buzz will insulate me from any setbacks (at least for a while)
Chall: Thanks! I think I can maintain this pace and it gives me a day off per week. As far as getting your membership revoked, well, trying to get a meeting together is sort of like herding cats.
Eric: Hi! Welcome to the blog! Good luck on making your deadlines!
Science Girl: Yep! I’m rooting for all of us to keep a sustainable pace.
EGF: Yeah, it’s amazing how much it improves my mood. And how much easier it is to get myself motivated to go into lab.
Psych Post Doc: Thanks!
good for you!
What’s your secret? 😉
Cath: It’s just getting on a roll and being excited about what’s going on with my benchwork. Oh, and beer (I do work on a rewards system).
That is awesome! Share your tricks and tips with those of us who are still being held hostage by the procrastinators club, please!
I did warn you about what the yeast would do to your beer budget….
Albatross: That may be another post. So far, so good.
Title Troubles: You did, indeed. Beer budget is quite high now. 🙂
