Day 9

My goal today is simply to maintain focus throughout the three hours. I've struggled a lot to stay on task this week, and I want to be sure I've got something on paper for today. Firstly, I want to be sure that I increase what I have written in the postcolonial section, with a minimum of 1 page. Secondly, I want to go back and look at the refugee mental health section I worked on last week, to assess what's there and what's missing. Thirdly, focusing on appreciating what I do get done, instead of what I don't.

Day 6

Need to to get a handle on my proposed conceptual framework before I move into the postcolonial and sensemaking literature, so focusing this week on building the framework section, and probably will move back to MHP literature once framework basics are down. Focusing today on not worrying about the details, just continuing to get the words on paper.

Day 5

MHP literature review up and running. I'd like today's goal to be to finish that portion well enough to leave it behind next week and start on another area, with the plan to revise MHP literature the week after camp ends. My focus isn't great today, so a little grace is probably also called for this morning.

Day 4

Continued work on literature review for refugee mental health section. Specifically looking at practitioners today and getting the findings out and down, not worrying about being concise or well-written - just getting it down so I can move it around later, but not have to worry about whether or not I have what I need when I re-organise. And practicing self-care by making the choice to forgo coffee today.

Day 3

I am going to change tactics by using something Ian said in small groups this morning; I'm going to switch to the chapter that I am most confident in - refugee mental health. My goal is to write a minimum of three pages today and see where that takes me.

Day 2

Yesterday felt like a bit of a debacle in terms of useful writing, but it was good to get that time under my belt and feel out how to do this process. Today's goal is: postcolonial literature review - complete at least 1 paragraph in postcolonial and 1 paragraph in role of whiteness in postcolonial.
