"The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world"
- The Philosophy of Composition, 1846
“Beautiful things are fragile... At home we have only black moths. Formidable creatures, to be sure, but they lack beauty. They thrive on the dark and cold."
"What do they feed on?"
"Butterflies, I'm afraid.”
-Crimson Peak, 2015

Oh week of autumn that I had a chance to experience, thank you. You are almost over and next week I am back to my routine and you are back to growing colder. I tried to take you in as fully as I could. What a gift!

torn out pages - a poem
I'm sorry for making myself the villain in your story when I'm the hero in someone else's. We all have pages of chapters, some of which we like, and others we wish to hide, erase, and throw in a blaze. But a story wouldn't be a story with torn out pages. And I'm sorry you read me when I was at my worst.

not sure what's with me and using books all the time as metaphors, but hey, it works :)

how many books do I want to read? all of them. there is no limit. my frail body will one day be crushed under the weight of my tbr pile and my mind will rejoice at all the lives I have lived, at all the new words that I have learnt and yet there will still be more books that I wish to read. i am simply a gaping chasm that only books can fill.

100 days of productivity
starting 25th October 2023 ending 2nd February 2024
Rules
Success or failure -- just show up
No #ZeroDays -- No matter how hard it feels, do a little thing, a bare minimum. Don't let any day become a zero day
Do at least one PhD-related task everyday
Read a journal article everyday. Skim, AIC, full workout - anything
Weekends are excluded, but counted -- because rest is productive
Learn & practice mindfulness
Take two pictures everyday to represent the day (post them here)
Accountability
Daily update of task list here. Perfection is the enemy of done. So don't overthink, just post - even if it feels half-baked.
-----
I’m currently in the final quarter of my PhD. I feel quite demotivated and I find it hard to gain momentum. So I thought I'll take up an accountability challenge to help me stay motivated and eventually build a routine.
If you are already doing a 100 days of productivity challenge, or would like to take on one, please do comment/like this post. I'd love to have some company and inspiration! Please help me find similar accounts! <3
