What is something that’s useful to work on when you’re having a tough day and your head isn’t in it? (as a postdoc)
I’ve had a few small(ish) work-related annoyances over the last couple of weeks, my contract ends in a few month’s time, and I have some family things going on in the background. Everything seems to have caught up with me today and I can’t focus on what I really need to be doing, which is working on a funding proposal so that I stand a chance of having a job once this contract ends. And motivation is very very low.
So, on days like today, what is something useful that I could be getting on with so that I still feel like I’ve accomplished something when I get home?
