Working under a Constraint

100,000 words is no joke. I am approaching nearly 70,000 words and the laptop is ever so slow when opening the word document, as if it had been instructed to scan every word every line before opening the document. In the meantime I had gone downstairs for lunch, washed the plates, and reheated the food.

When I came upstairs I accidentally closed the file and had to wait for it to restart, hence I am writing this blog in the meantime. Honestly I cannot imagine those who did this in the yonder days, with a manual typewriter and 3 dozen edits. 

In comparison, we have it super easy with cloud documents, accessible anytime anywhere.

Mendeley cite is another godsend, thank you to all its makers.

In time, I will finish my PhD, before my patience runs out 🧘‍♀️🙏
