Congrats on PhD. But I feel you missed the following categories:

  • Crying
  • Self loathing
  • Arguing with supervisors
  • Emailing Supervisors
  • staring into a wall
  • cleaning to avoid doing work

Or was that just me?

Sadly, neither of these were productive and so they weren't included, but trust me, there was a lot of time spent here.

>- Arguing with supervisors

This was included in "Meeting". There was a lot of this too.

> - Emailing Supervisors

Included in "Administration". I remember one morning spending an hour and a half writing an email. Not procrastinating, not staring at the screen, actually writing.

Not productive when crying? I’ll have you know some of my best work was done was ugly crying at my computer!!

Love all this though.
