I usually blog what I have been doing but, in an effort to follow my supervisors’ advice and cut down on my non-PhD activity, I am now blogging what I have NOT been doing.

How come, if I have turned down at least five days of activity since my last supervision session that I still feel I ought to be working twice as fast?
