According to the Oxford dictionary, research is the following:
The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
I have been having ebbs and flows. It freaks me out and then it makes me curious. Ahhhrrrgggrrr!
when I have an open mind to learn, I understand what I am reading. Ask me to paraphrase, I struggle!
What is systematic?
a. Arranged or conducted according to a system, plan, or organized method; involving or observing a system; (of a person) acting according to system, regular and methodical.
(Reference - https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/196668?rskey=xDCwsS&result=1#eid, visited 03 April 2023)
I neither have an organised method, nor am I observing a system in an arranged method!
Yikes! That is an awareness I need to do something about.
I am asking myself, am I enjoying or is it like hiking, where I do not like the actual act and however, I like to brag about the hikes I have been on! I usually can't wait for the hike to finish. I start and look forward to eating when reaching the top of the summit. With research, it is a rabbit hole, the whole thing is a rabbit hole .... ahhhrrr!!!
So it has been 7 months since started ... 7 months and 3 days :-) and 9 hours. Yikes!
