Time and the Value of No

ResMeth week three completed fine, despite flu and general incoherence.

I think it is going well for everyone.

I'm glad I decided to do this, despite not really having the time.  A fact that was brought home today as I realised I was trying to teach time-management and the value of 'saying no' while I was:

  • Doing my full-time DPhil
  • Co-Organising the Coding Dojo
  • Co-Organising the HCT Seminars
  • Working as part of my CASE Studentship
  • Carrying out research for Agile Narratives
  • Work 15 hours a week for Hertfordshire
  • Teaching at postgraduate level
  • Finishing off a distance-learning PGCert in Narrative Research
  • Trying to learn Java
  • Some paper reviewing for the Agile Alliance
  • Other stuff, like trying to retain a life

Who am I to teach the value of keeping your weekends free?
