One presentation done, one to go, zero neurons left
My second-to-last presentation of my academic Master's degree was yesterday. I spent the whole day before working on it, and I practiced it the morning of, one hour before presenting. I've never done this before, but that's what happened this time.
Today I'm at an all-day event on research in psychology, instead of working on the final presentation. And part of me is worried about finishing on a high, making the best work I can, doing the whole thing today (ignoring the fact that it's a group presentation). But that part needs to learn to shut the eff up, just for a little bit.
I want to do the best possible work, yes, but even if I do nothing but research and write for the rest of the week, it's not gonna be perfect.
So the message today is the opposite of the previous posts'. I've been having to force myself to do the work despite wanting to procrastinate. Today I force myself to enjoy an interesting event and some time with friends, despite wanting to work.
I think the next post will be on something other than this sprint. I miss writing about thinking and thinking about writing. And I miss doing haikus on daily stuff, so here's one for today
Better than perfect Is doing it anyway Enjoy your life
