Theorem #1: Productive Procrastination is not an Oxymoron

Much like a research project needs a purpose, goals and objectives, so too does this blog. While procrastination is a worthy goal in itself (see previous post), it's time to think big.

Theorem #1: productive procrastination is not an oxymoron. Under this theory, a blog can simultaneously serve as an opportunity to procrastinate and a medium to compose a research project. As such, here are a few productive objectives for this blog:

• brainstorm thoughts and reflections related to the research project at hand as they arise
• document the subjective decisions behind a seemingly objective research project (hence the title of this blog)
• document the research process from the first-person perspective of the researcher, similar to the way an ethnographer would keep a field journal during periods of observation

So let's start with that and see how things progress.
