Given that my productivity, writing quality and patience have fallen away, and that it’s just a few weeks until we’re off, I’ve come to the fairly delightful conclusion that the best course is to stop writing for a while and focus on preparation for our departure, plus a certain amount of chilling out!
Along with the decision, I realised that going part time will make this final ‘thesis polishing’ stage so much more bearable, particularly given that I have a fairly automated income which I can shore up as I go. There’s nothing like being able to work when you choose, and when you’re in a productive state, instead of trying to force it for eight hours a day – working smart, not hard (4 Hour Work Week has been putting radical thoughts in my head).
So, given that decision, and that this is Katherine’s final day, we’re just eight-or-so hours away from freedom! Wow.
