I&#8217;ve been working on it since October, and day 100 falls on January 25th, about 3 weeks before I&#8217;m due, which feels just right for sending off a draft of my thesis before settling into having my first baby; that&#8217;s when lots of mamas start maternity leave anyhow. I was inspired to make a 100-day plan after reading <a href=\"http:\/\/opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com\/2011\/09\/29\/making-change-happen-on-a-deadline\/\">an article<\/a> about development projects getting accomplished in 100 days. The idea is that we can all imagine 3 months ahead; it takes us &#8220;out of the realm of business as usual&#8221; and focuses our efforts. So I sat down and made a 100-day plan, and so far, it&#8217;s really helped focus the daily work on the thesis.<\/p>\n<p>That and the very real deadline of having my baby, and wanting to be able to enjoy him and not have the thesis hanging over my head. So I spend early mornings at my desk writing, and afternoons in the library. My belly grows closer to the table every day, the baby&#8217;s wiggles spurring me on and reminding me why I&#8217;m working this hard. I&#8217;ll let you know how it goes!<\/p>\n<p>What do the possibilities of 100 days make you think of? Anyone want to join me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have I mentioned my plan to write a draft of my thesis in 100 days?
