Week 45: Non-productive

I keep hitting a wall whenever I try to demonstrate that my methodology section aligns precisely with my research objectives. My supervisor has mentioned that this can be one of the greatest challenges for any researcher, and I am beginning to see why. Still, I must overcome before I begin the main data collection in January, which is approaching quickly.

This week, I have spent time reading articles on academic writing, organising my Evernote notes, and jotting down various thoughts and ideas, though I have not yet produced any concrete output. I also met two friends for meals and attended a research seminar, which led to meaningful discussions and sparked several new ideas.
