Things going through my head at the moment...
...I hope I can get a bunch of publications submitted in the next couple months before I go up for renewal.
...I hope I can get at least a couple more proposals submitted before renewal is due as well. There's the DOE pre-proposal due in January. There's the DNA nanoparticles proposal that's due whenever. There's the NSF thingy with Pilgyu...December 9.
...I wonder if my achievements in these areas are commensurate with the mental energy I devote to thinking about them.
...In all these arenas, I need to build good habits. While running the other day, I had a vision of charging heartily straight in the right direction. While practicing I have a vision of doing just one small finger maneuver which I know for certain takes me in the right direction. I need to hone that. I need to honor it and apply it to my work as a professor. As I said to Jayme tonight, "bring the target closer." I need to start by mastering stage one, and then advancing.
