  • Use of Preprints

    In 2025, I hoped major journals would select my papers for publishing. I discovered that the publishing process is a complex one and publishing my papers will take time. I made some of the papers public (can be viewed by anyone) using preprints. I was pleased that a lot of academics and students read the Continue reading

  • Need for End of Year Review

    In my email, I saw that a year in review was available from LinkedIn. I didn’t open it. It is something I would like to do based on my blog posts. It is a great idea! I also saw a post asking for a word of the year. That is something I will think about Continue reading

  • God’s Love

    If God is for us who can be against us…Nothing can separate us from the love of God… Continue reading

  • Life is difficult

    Life is difficult for a lot of people. Some are facing layoffs, some have health issues, and so on. Sometimes it is difficult to escape problems. Trusting in the Lord helps. Here is an interesting video I found on how a company usually handles a layoff: Continue reading

  • Father-Daughter Time

    I just read the news story on the courtside appearance of Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy with her father. From the photo it seemed that the two had a good time. It is good to see that fathers going out with their daughters is mainstream. You may know that I have lunch with my father from Continue reading

  • Update

    I can’t believe it is Wednesday already. The days are going by quickly. I am spending a lot of time resting. My foot still hurts. I am having trouble taking care of some things. I like to take care of my business (get started on things and get things moving). I cannot get to CVS Continue reading

  • Feeling festive

    Christmas carols/songs always make me feel better. I listened to quite a few Christmas songs today. I enjoyed favorites such as O Holy Night, Little Drummer Boy, and Jingle Bell Rock. The songs helped to put me in the Christmas spirit. I want to also go see Christmas lights/decorations out there. That also makes me Continue reading

  • Status

    During the last few days, I was not my normal/usual self. My foot hurt a whole lot. I used a walker to get around. I had trouble walking up and down stairs and moving around. It seems that I am back to rehab days. I am trying to stay positive. I think it is getting Continue reading

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    As I write this my foot is in pain. My foot is wrapped again to deal with issues the doctor found. I am thankful for doctors and other healthcare professionals. I am thankful for God’s grace and guidance. I am thankful for family togetherness. I am thankful for all that happens in my life. I Continue reading

  • Update

     It is a new day. I just grabbed the playing cards and started a game of Solitaire. I will play Solitaire for a while. I had a question about the wheelchair I got years ago. I have to go look for it. It may come in handy. Continue reading

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.
