Goal

Confession-I have a hard time flossing, taking vitamins or other daily rituals. I am really good at doing something once, maybe twice, but things in my life constantly fall by the wayside. However, if I really want change my life, I need to set some boundaries to make me more creative and productive.

A contemporary modern artist Andrea Zittel, says that "rules make us more creative". If I am to increase creativity and productivity I need to learn to curve my "flexible" inclinations and strive for more structure in my life. I'm in awe of people develop practices like a daily walk, photo a day for a year or gratitude journals.

The new research suggests that it takes 66 days to make a new habit and not 28. This statement provokes a feeling of being overwhelmed and anxiety. 28days  is a month, but 2+ months! 10 weeks!  Well, 9 after today, and thus my goal to post on this blog about constructing a research project. That's right I am going to make a goal, and make myself available to creativity and productivity within a structure. At least one post on Wednesday.

On to the project. I am a Registered Nurse with a background in Feminist Research, interested in studying the realities of modern nursing on those preforming the "art and science" of nursing and how they manage,  identify with, value the process and find fulfillment, within the career.

Frustrated by a career in modern nursing, I was babbling about the topic, when a good friend and fellow researcher, stated that I should ask other nurses what they liked about there jobs, officially. Up till then I was just talking to friends, who obtained some satisfaction, yet desired more.

In constructing a formal qualitative research project, I will "story catch" keys to deconstructing this topic, even if it is just for my own knowledge base.
