summer: time is cheap, and i am unproductive.

it's been unproductive lately.

i think i'm getting too comfortable working at home. during the semester my work sessions were more productive because, strangely enough, i knew that on weekdays, i'd have to leave at some point for the department. that day there would be a class i'd attend, and then a seminar, or there would be my weekly meeting with the advisor.

the days were structured, and time was more precious. i did more with a small window of time then than i do now, in a day. it's not a comforting thought.

i can't help but think that the last few days could have been done in one concentrated morning and afternoon. the results aren't even that good or conclusive. i still don't quite understand the world of metric currents .. especially after that error in proof which has thrown awry all my sense of the topic.



in the meanwhile, i should be writing. i think i owe the world an article i promised to write, and yes, i will get to it ..

.. but it's always hard to leave something alone, when you feel you can do something about it .. even if it takes an unproductively long time.
