Putting things in order, trying to manage time effectively as I usually do...

I recently submitted another assignment late (see: http://itdatacommmoorefo1.blogspot.com/2017/05/week-5-paper-submitted.html). A second time! I don't want to do that again during the course. I am usually good at managing my time and organization (I am known as a "neat freak" to some).

At this time, I am looking into/pursuing different avenues. I am trying to "put things in order." Some things/activities may not appear important, but they are. Every little bit helps....

For example, I updated the headers/cover photo of a lot of my online accounts yesterday. That has more of an effect than you know!

A picture with the old header:

The new header:

I also used this (related/similar) header in a few places:

Today, I spent some time on the "Our God as our Rock" bible study. I reviewed psalm 61....

I also connected the categories in Pinterest - something I meant to do for a while....

I will now go work on my post due today. Back on track!

Interest in food

More reasons to be interested in food. Maybe I should have continued studying Home Economics (includes Food & Nutrition) past the third form in high school. Very interesting...

Recent activities

Today, I planned to work on my PhD assignment/paper, but I ended up working on other things. I have been busy. I am working on getting my work/proposals out there (in search of funding), performing analyses, looking for work, and so on. Some of my recent activities:

I also spent some time updating my Research Summary.

 

Daily Prompt 5/5

I spent some time writing a response to today's one-word prompt at dailypost.wordpress.com. (See my page: https://fahmeenaodetta1.wordpress.com/dailypostchallenges/ for the post). I also have to work on my "Our God the Rock" bible study.

I like today's verse of the day at BibleGateway.com:

Funding for decision-making research

I submitted the assignment on Monday. Everything is pretty much back on track.

I spent some time today reviewing funding opportunities for decision-making research (one of my topic areas - see: https://fahmeenaodettaresearchsummary.tumblr.com/). Some resources:

July 11: Decision making during crises: Prospect theory and China's foreign policy crisis behavior after the cold war

(...need to find more foreign resources/opportunities)


I need to work on getting my projects on the desks of potential donors/funding sources. In other words, more people need to know about my projects. I am sure some organization out there would be interested.

Missed deadline

I missed the deadline for the week 3 assignment (for the IT Data Communications Management course: http://itdatacommmoorefo1.blogspot.com/). The assignment was due last night at 12. First missed assignment since I started the PhD program! I will try not to read too much into it.

I will continue trusting in Almighty God. Incidentally, the verse of the day at BibleGateway.com is:

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 NIV
