I'm having some difficulty settling down to study with this new online PhD. The problem is not the online program, but rather my personal difficulty with creating a routine that allows me to do the amount of studying I want to do.
I decided that I would give myself a shortish deadline for finishing my online program. I am no longer as young as I was, and if I take years to finish my PhD, it will not give me all the benefits I want to gain from it; so the sooner I finish the better.
This means that I need to study quite a lot each week, and fitting this in means that I have limited time - sleep, meals and washing all all activities I am considering cutting out of the schedule. But I just love the study, and I think that as I settle down into the routine, I'll find that it's actually quite achievable. I just need some more patience, a quality that has always been in short supply in my life.
