#100daysofphd Some reading on action research today. Pondering the relationship between doing the (good) research and writing (well) about the research - and how these are intertwined in AR.

#100daysofphd Have enjoyed a 1st class upgrade for my train ride home, the bliss of a double table all to myself as I continue the read through my final draft, coloured highlighters fully exploited.

#100DaysOfPhD After a few weeks in the doldrums an epic day with over 4000 words of my methodology written, underlying assumptions, positionality, ethical considerations, phase 1 design next and reading up on focus groups and social constructionism. I'm getting back on track!

I haven't been doing too well on #100DaysOfPhD lately but this is planning w'kend for a big push. Focus is the chair/exec leader relationship in English state schools. Much to uncover - focus groups to begin soon so best get lit review put to bed & write that methodolgy chapt. #EffectiveGovernance

My variation of #100daysofPhD: 60 days until I submit my upgrade to go from MPhil/PhD student to #PhD candidate! Today I’m focusing on reading about legal research methods I’ll be using in my project ⚖️

During my #100DaysofPhD I wrote a lot about my transcription project, which is split over two books detailing student registrations at a school. Not only have I just finished the first book, but I've now done 65% of the whole project. It's taking forever, but feels like I'm getting there! #History

I've hit 100 days! In that time I've written around 12,000 words, accessed an archive, started a huge transcription project, attended training sessions, had a dislocated shoulder, several gallbladder attacks and sunstroke, but I made it 💪

A big #PhD goal for the month is getting to 70% in my transcription project, which means I need to get to 55% this week - easily doable, or so I thought...until I looked at my first page for the day and the handwriting was an absolute mess taking hours 😂

I gave myself the week off of #PhD work whilst waiting to get supervisor feedback, which I got on Friday. Turns out that was a good plan as I had 4 days of migraine, followed by a gallbladder attack. Tomorrow is a new week though...what will it bring?
