Make It Better By Stopping For A While

A cup of green tea

Today, I am drinking green tea again. Recently, I had lots of fluids (soda, juice, almond milk) which may have caused my chest to hurt. So now I am drinking way less fluids. I would hate to be back on oxygen like I was in the hospital.

The hand hygiene compliance paper is not yet finished. I stopped working on the paper for a few days so that: (1) I will look at it anew (with “fresh” eyes) when I start working on it again, and (2) I will think of new ideas and make new connections while away. When I start working on the paper again, I am sure I will notice issues that I missed before and will have other ideas on how to organize the paper and information to include. Hopefully, I will also hear from the folks I asked to critically review the paper when I am ready to start working on it again.

I was working on another paper that benefited from my time away from it. I noticed issues and even came up with a new theory to organize the literature. The paper is much better.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
