Stories of the library (III): This is not a gym. O yes. Discipline
As I said, I intend to be disciplined and try to follow certain times. Lately I'm getting to the gym with some regularly. Well. Today
rude reflect on what it is people, whether at home or in public, from an observation I've been doing both in the library and in the gym.
is not the first time I leave here writing my indignation with memos that sometimes I come across in books. These days I could not help making a connection between them and I'm starting to meet in the gym. Similar
number 1. Site. If you're dealing
locker at the gym and there are people waiting to go, smart. The same if you picked out a book from the library and you get a mail informing that it has been reserved. Perceived pitch.
Like number 2. This is not yours.
In the shower, avoid spitting, urinating or leave hair of dubious origin. After you enter another that will not make you funny. Same with unfunny jokes, cartoons and notes you leave in the margin of books. Similar
number 3. Silence.
Needless to say, nothing more. Similar
number 4. Looks.
understand that the library look in the girl you like. Or the blonde's neck in front of you. Refrain from making comments if you look under the skirt of the girl who placed the books. But what I am writing or reading none of your business. I get nervous. Ditto if I'm getting the Gayumbo. Yes are elephants. So what? Similar
Whenever I have it clearer. The discipline makes us better. Since I am firm with my schedule, I notice my productivity, still far from good, better every day.
few days of the week go to the gym. At 20h the pen and let loose to explore. Although it is highly concentrated. I get up and go. On the way to the gym review what I've done and what I have left half, and the next day I feel more encouraged to follow.
same morning and weekends. These days I'm cuadriculadísimo. One hour for lunch, half an hour for coffee and football at 19 hours which is sacred.
Before he did was lengthen the afternoon if not rife me everything I wanted. If a club had no water I had two more hours spent in the gym and came home thinking "at least 5 hours I've been sitting in the library." Wrong. Finally I chose the habit of spending hours and hours in front of books without doing much of anything.
If you do not work fine one day, nothing happens. At eight o'clock paras. And he finished his doctorate until tomorrow. At night also helping me a lot of reading novels, ending with that feeling "read = study."
Now I have it clear. This is the announcement that I leave here, you have few minutes a day you can devote to the doctorate. If you use them well. But tomorrow.
STOP to stop doing things for the dissertation. STOP dissertations that eat your life.
I admit, many items that cross my itorio escr not get my attention beyond the abstract diagonal and a brief reading of the findings. Curious
the existence of such abstracts that lead the articles. In 250-400 words explain briefly about the topic, rationale, theories and m ETHODOLOGY the article. Some even advance you some conclusion based on the results. I've always hated spoilers, and I shall explain why.
Like all once, I did that. Lame article, I read the abstract, a look at the graphs, a couple of rehearsals to conclusions and passing the next. Do not do it.
should be beating about the eye, there can be something and n the world more dangerous than an abstract . Especially good abstract. It promises gold and m gold captivates you with its fine words and its ambitious results. If you do not get the item and can only read the abstract , you keep wanting more, believing you that the thesis is going to hell because that article I had come from fine china jewelry. Nothing is further from reality. In many cases, these summaries are to be a powerpoint advertising agency, a lawyer combed card, embellished presentation that has no more purpose than to enter through the eyes of some doctors no time to read and very complete bibliography. They are the great lie of research (Especially in social sciences). Last week, without going any further, I read four articles whose abstracts were brilliant, but after a closer reading, texts became not stand for anything. Bullshit. But hey, what a great title and what it redactao summarized. So I said to myself: "If you can not beat them, join them." And one afternoon I have borne an abstract . Hour and a half formulating and reformulating phrases in just 400 words a reviewer across the world falls in love with the wonderful article that hide. Or rather, to hide. For, indeed, the abstract is done, but the article does not! If I accept it, and think of what I do. But I removed it bailao, no?
