The title of Lori Bradley’s blog – ADD – another dissertation distraction has me cracking up and i felt the need to share for all y’all enmeshed in finals, writing, attention deficit and procrastination vices of all sorts. It’s a fantastic complement to PhD – Piled Higher and Deeper.
I WISH it wasn’t so true….but I can find just about ANY reason to be distracted from my dissertation. Take today, for instance. Did you know that it’s easier to find canned vegetables in your cupboard if they are alphabetized?? It’s true. But DON’T try it yourself!
i heard of a guy who painted his house to avoid his dissertation.
I have a friend who swears her son was a result of dissertation avoidance.
I think the typical thing is to clean the house, basement, and cook. My house is cleaner on the days I try to write papers.
