Paper
I am a procrastinator by heart. I often start something, and whenever I feel that something is off or not fun enough, I will deviate from the subject, find something else that is easier, or just stop completely. Sometimes I plan to do something, but it is being postponed for months, even years, because I do not feel like doing it.
For this paper, I do like the topic in itself, but there are some issues that makes it a bit difficult to complete:
Last week I spent most time writing the experiment and figure out what metrics matters. I have tried to dedicate myself to write at least a section each week to keep up with the schedule, but sadly I barely managed to write down 3 sentences. I do hope that it will eventually flow better.
I recognized that I have not written what the project is about. I first thought that the brief explanation in PixelMap would describe this, and as it will definitely change over time, it could be confusing over time.
Two weeks ago I sent in an application that describes what I was going to write about. It was denied, so the next week I had to skim through a bunch of articles to find references and then write down in more detail what the paper was about. It took me almost the whole week, but finally it was approved, so I immediately began building the folder and file structures that I’m going to use the next over two months.
