Tips please for a good day working from home!

[Mosschops30]

Have managed to get childcare for today for me to get on with my 4000 word assignment (so why am I on mumsnet? )
How can I plan my day well and get lots done instead of fannying around?

Hiya! Just got back.
Now don't go distracting me with thoughts of watching Loose Women - if I switch the telly on, I'm doomed!
You've done 300 words since I last posted? That's some going. The first bit of a new section's always the worst, as well. Sounds like you're definitely on the finishing strait now (sorry - running always makes me come up with stupid athletics phrases!)
I've got 2 small-ish sections to go and then a little fact box and then I'm done.
Race you to finish!

well done, cant believe you're nearly done but well done to you. This has been a great motivational thread for me!
I have done about 50 more words but am giving up now, just started talking about the Black Report and Ineqaulities in Health and all goverment legislation and stuff (all the boring bit) so I can get on with the rest tomorrow now. But I'm pleased with what i've done so far.

Let me know if you get finished and your fact box too. I'm off to pick the kids up now

Nearly there - yippee!
Just wanted to thank you, Mosschops: this has been great for me too.
Anytime you need to do it again over the next three weeks (that's my final deadline), please give me a shout.

how about tomorrow

and you think I'm joking!!

Thanks loads to you to, this was great

juliab are you about today.

I need some to motivate me, just starting work again, aim to get 1000-1500 words done this morning.

Please help me achieve this

I'm here!
Really glad to find you. I need a big kick up the backside this morning - I'm really not in the mood.
Have to start a new chapter and, like you, write at least 1000 words.
When shall we have our first reckoning?

hiya, right get started you're trailing you know, I reckon I've done about another 500 words, just finished trawling through the black report so thats the worst bit out of the way.
Be back at 11.30, we'll have a re-count, but I expect you to have done at least half

god I'm like bloody seargent major this morning, come on girl get going!!!!!! good luck

Hi Mosschops - how are you doing?
I need you to shout at me again! Have a real blank-page morning
Hope things are better at your end

see my other thread about my results feel like binning this crap I am currently writing.

Theres still hope for you, get cracking!!

I am going to type up now so will get back to you on how many rubbish words I have achieved this morning

Do not bin ANYTHING. As your motivational coach, I forbid it!
Besides, then I would have written more than you today – and I do not deserve to feel smug about the pathetic amount I've achieved so far this morning.
Have posted on your other thread, by the way
KEEP GOING!
I shall be back to check...

hiya j, have done 900 words, so only just over 1000 to go and have dne the worst bit with all the government rubbish, just book flicking now.

How are you getting on?

That's fantastic! Well done you. Especially as you wanted to bin it...
I've done 400 words. Eek. Can only say in my defence that the opening of a chapter is always grim - have to sum up everything that's to follow in two or three witty paragraphs.
Well, there's always this afternoon. Will you hassle me later? Pleeeeeeeese?

will hassle you again at 2.30 because i'm giving up then

ha nearly typed gin instead of grin ....freudian slip or what!!!!

ok julia how has it been, I just know you've been slaving away and now you're finished

I have managed a total of 985 words today (poor I know) but I did spend time updating my reference list too, and wallowing in self pity took me .... oh about an hour.

Thanks for your motivational coaching, much appreciated

That's great! You said you wanted to get about 1000 words done, didn't you? Very impressed at your ability to work through 'self-pity' (though it wasn't really).
I am still struggling but a bit further on and picking up speed now.
Thanks for all your help too - particularly all the posts telling me to get back to work - much needed
Are you at it again tomorrow? Or do you get a break?

hooray I am having a break tomorrow, but will probably do a bit when ds is in bed.
if you need a good shouting at let me know

may well take you up on that
bye for now - yes i am LOGGING OFF. honest.
well for a bit, anyway...
