I have been working on the article this week, but not blogging until now. I feel like I'm putting in the time but not moving forward at all. I spent 20 minutes Monday and 40 today reading a long article. It was helpful, but I still feel like I've accomplished nothing. And it was very tough when I started thinking about Sally's question about targeting an achievable goal to complete for the next 2 weeks (now it's a week and a half). Here's where I feel like all the little chunks aren't adding up to much. And this week is really busy: we've had phone interviews on a search committee I'm on plus the English 100 conference is this Friday, and I'm doing a lot of the organizing for that--and all that's on top of the usual hecticness winding up the semester.
I can either jump into more of my lit. or web searching or draft part of the article that I already have the angle and info on. I don't know what will be most helpful to target. But I'm still trying to work in at least 15 minutes for the next two days and try for 30 minutes four days next week. I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow what I'll focus on.

I hear your pain! I've been dealing with the final stages of a search and haven't been able to prioritize in the rest of my life. I think it is harder to set goals when there isn't a clear product from the goal. Sometimes I just have to grimace and bear it.
