DISTRACTION LOG

1#2#3#4#5#
Today I have decided to create a distraction log. On thursday and friday I did this through a dictaphone. But obviously there were problems with this for example I couldn't in the middle of a talk whip out my dictaphone and say that my fingernails need painting and that that would seem like a better way for me to spend my day then here. Or on the bus say out loud that you are annoyed and cannot now think because there is plenty of space on the bus but the person who just got on decided to sit next to you when there is plenty of space elsewhere. Now i am distracted and annoyed. 
So I have decided the best way to log my distraction is through twitter for the next 2 days. I can hopefully go online on my phone when I am out and about and I can go online when I am at home. It also tells me the date and time. It has the potential to be a beautiful and handy way of logging. With the character restriction as well this means I have to be short and sharp about my logging. Which for me is the best restriction.

I did originally have a very long to do list to get done by the end of today. But that has changed after our student led seminars yesterday on our dissertations. This weekend is going to be spent working on my dissertation. And really cracking on. As the first draft/ plan is due in on Wednesday afternoon.
