… this blog rises again.
And you’ll never know whether I’ll actually manage to more or less regularly write something. On anything. I think I have to give up claiming to write about my PhD only or even produce deep and important thoughts about current affairs and life in general.
But at least there will be some more content to the site and maybe – just maybe – even some interesting things.
I have taken a step in the right direction by adding MeeTimer to Firefox. Now I have an external enforcer ensuring that I don’t waste my time watching stupid videos or playing silly games. MeeTimer tells me the amount of time I have spent surfing the net on selected sites procrastinating myself instead of being a productive PhD student (as if such a thing existed). I am still able to access a site, IF I can overcome my bad conscience and click the miniscule link, which allows me to continue surfing. So far I have been strong.
So to all my fellow PhD students whotend to be distracted by the wealth of information and diversion on the internet – check out the Wired How-to Stop Wasting Time Online. Thanks Wired!
