These past three days saw so little work from me that I am left physically afraid of where I stand right now with my Dissertation proposal.

I assumed that my new situation and the throngs of cheering supporters would be enough to keep me motivated, but those assumptions appear to be incorrect. This discovery is not all bad, though, as I am no longer motivated only by outside forces. I am taking credit for my own successes and failures.

Now the trick appears to be to find a balance between work and play, and a good set of self-motivating behaviors/system of rewards.

Then again, maybe I should just continue to work my ass off today and see where that leaves me.
