I have just spend an entire weekend thinking about this bit of writing I have to turn in on tuesday. I ponder over it, I think about how I should structure it but I dont lift a pen, or rather my laptop to get it done. That will only happen on monday night.
Try as I might, I cannot get rid of this "last minute syndrome".
Just as most of my problems seem to find a solution in my dreams!! I get up in the middle of the night, frantically trying to find that pen and paper to jot down my ideas lest I should forget them. Makes me wonder sometimes if its better for me to try and find solutions or just sleep over it, if only I could control it...
I am nearing the end of my PhD... although technically I have spent 4 years working on it, I am not sure how much time have I actually spent on it. Last minute papers at the six monthly reviews or just before the meetings with my supervisor. Even now, I struggle everyday to trick myself into believing that I have a deadline and this is the last minute. The last minute syndrome!!!
