Week 2
I was feeling very excited last week. This week, not so much. My goals are pretty much the same as last week. I am in the a summer writing workshop and had to workshop a piece on Wednesday and couldn't motivate to get up Wednesday morning, so my days for this week are
Thursday--8
Thursday--3
Friday--9
My goals for the week are to
*finish Cesaire write up,
*write up Senghor,
*finish reading section of Wizard of the Crow, and
*begin writing close reading of Wizard of the Crow--this may happen next week.
I workshopped my draft in the my summer course, and the recommendation was to stop writing about the other figures and move to my close reading. This is probably the best idea, but I have to finish the write-up of the key figures. Perhaps just as a self-sabotaging move to postpone working on what I should be working on. I just think getting a sense of what these thinkers are saying will help me pin point Ngugi's main thrust and central difference. Even if I end up excising all this from the chapter, I think it is important for me to get a sense of this for myself.

That sounds like a pretty solid plan of action! And I think being able to identify self-sabotage is half the battle, myself.
Know exactly what you mean. I've spent the last three days wondering how much Franz Boas was influenced by the pragmatists, which would merit at most a sentence in the chapter I'm writing. I'm realizing just how many, many ways I have of procrastinating. Mind you I did find something useful in the course of looking for it. So maybe a little sabotage is OK.
