Yesterday, I handed in my thesis, written, printed and bound. That's 20% of my work out of the way.
Unfortunately, I spent over 50% of my time on it, and broke many of Madeline's recommendations:
She said: Don't let it take over your life. It took over my life.
She said: Perfectionism prevents Production - it does
She said: Overactivity leads to Underactivity - that's partly why I was so slow in getting to grips with it.
The other reason was the level at which I was stressing myself, throughout the whole period since last June.
The one thing I did right is the most important - I beat the system insofar as I got it in on time, and I'm as passionate as ever about the theme I wrote on, namely Ilya Kabakov as a person.
So next task is the studio work.
But first, I'm going to read back on this blog to see what did I used to be saying to myself all that time ago - really, I haven't used it for over a year.
