A few days ago I shared my Ethical Enquiry Form with my tutor and I got lots of relevant feedback. It took specially my attention the topic about the Researcher Wellbeing. It is something I didn’t consider, even though its relevance. I read the link my tutor provide me, and I further reflected on the current and potential risks for my wellbeing. 

Currently I am in a very busy period of my life and I have recently considered to drop the PG Certificate. However, after lots of thinking and discussion, I strongly believe I should continue and finalise my research. To do so, and not to fall into stressful situations, I am conscious I need an action plan, a work structure, a critical path. For that purpose, I’ve registered in a monthly calendar all the key steps I should complete week by week till the submission of the ARP. I’ve color coded the actions based on: Forms, Primary Research, Secondary Research, ARP tutorials/cross programme, Blogging, Finalising the Presentation.

This plan has provided me tranquility and the security that if I follow it, I can submit my project on time.
