elephants and frogs

“to eat an elephant you must first break it into little chunks”- teresa’s advice about approaching my thesis.

and i have since come across a website “eat that frog” with anti-procrastination techniques and advice about how to prioritise tasks and arrange my day to fit everything in. 

http://home.earthlink.net/~denmartin/etf.html 

the following is an example from the page:

ACTION EXERCISE = Make every minute count! Think continually of different ways that you can save, schedule, and consolidate large chunks of time. Use this chunk of time to work on important tasks with the most significant long-term consequences. Most of all, keep focused on the most important results for which you are responsible!

getting down to the pointy end of the thesis (and in fact going into the workforce) the advice seems sound. and even though i’ve heard most of it before, hopefully the repetition will help it stick!
