Although having lived in close proximity to PhD students in the past, I have a No Guilt strategy on pondering and procrastination - they're a necessary & unavoidable part of the process. Something like: I'm in it for the long haul, so I might as well bed down and potter. Tho this theory may all fall apart come October.<br /><br />"Errands" is a very interesting one, isn't it? Has the gratifying patina of a constructive use of time. I love "doing errands" 'cos I feel like a right go-getter. As for "making varnish" and "carrying things" - sound like displacement activities to me!<br /><br />JJENNIFER HODGSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393046754252807306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5395480011266096789.post-43836554014347747402009-07-08T20:08:55.187+01:002009-07-08T20:08:55.187+01:00Hi Jenny,

I spend most of mine either sat in front of my desk pulling my hair out or engaged in errands. Whenever I go anywhere there seem to be people engaged in conversation in cafes, or in the park, or shopping. I wonder where the money comes from. And I live in a vast building full of arty types (it's supposed to be studio space), all of whom seem to be rushing about, making varnish, carrying things. But I don't know what anyone does.<br /><br />I plan to get a 9-5 job one day. If anyone will let me. But first I have to finish my PhD, which seems to encourage endless floating about doing seemingly nothing and wondering how other people fill their days...Jonnoreply@blogger.com
