I'm working... honest

I'm working, really

I've started writing down how much work i've done in a day. Partly as a procrastination exercise, also to try to see whether i'm doing enough. So here's the story so far:

Last week
  • Quantitative methods small project - the last of the ones that's supposed to take two hours but doesn't (feh). The most complicated one.
  • Benedict Anderson, The Spectre of Comparison (revision)
  • 2 articles on Asian values and democracy
  • Coffee-break reading on social movements - although i won't start work properly on my conference paper until May 1 (i deliver it on May 7) there's no harm in putting the odd few minutes into it now.

Weekend (April 23-24)

  • Anderson, Imagined Communities
  • Three or four articles for Asian Politics

Monday April 25

  • Two or three hours preliminary fiddling with SPSS
  • First plan for major quant meth project, choosing variables etc
  • Two Asian Politics articles - less than planned, but they were full of heavy technical economic stuff.
  • Light coffee-break reading on social movements

So far i've kept to my resolution of never being without reading material. So i don't know whether i'll go through with my self-imposed punishment of having to get my ass down to campus and get some if i run out at home.
