This week I had to go back to the drawing board. I took my day off this week to really reset my whole thesis plan. I used the dreaded chatgpt to create a detailed schedule. I inputted all the related information as far as what tasks I had to accomplish and by what dates I wanted things done by. Although I cannot stand AI and chatgpt, this actually helped me so much. I was able to not only pace myself, but it gave me specific tasks I should be completing every time I sit down and dedicate time to my thesis. I was able to look back at things that were helping me move forward and aspects that were holding me back. One of my downfalls was my lit review. I found that it was hard for me to sit down and start writing my academic paper because my lit review wasn’t setting me up for success. This weekend I was able to go back, change some sources and also tweak some of my rationales. Doing this allowed for me to see clearly where I am going with my academic paper.  

My goal this week is to have a detailed outline for my academic paper, this way I know exactly where I am going with things. Overall, last weeks class coupled with my new plan is really putting me back on track and dare I say motivating me to keep pushing towards the finish line.
