Succumbed to temptation and went out for a walk. Did not think about my literature review. Feel better for it!

@MoreFrances literature reviews often encourage me to do other things. According to Self-determination theory, a feeling of autonomy is a strong intrinsic motivator. That does often mean I make the autonomous choice to do something I enjoy more than my literature review.

@colinreed so very true 😆 I feel the need to work this into my dissertation somewhere!

@MoreFrances I put it in the reflective section of one of my masters assignments.

@MoreFrances actually I got my lowest mark for that assignment. Maybe they thought I wasn't taking it seriously enough.

@colinreed well I feel that reflects badly on those marking it rather than on you - failing to recognise your important contribution to the understanding of a common academic phenomenon!
