I am feeling like I’m sinking in quicksand. If it can go wrong it is doing. I might survive and I’m full of brave words for other people telling them to hang on and we’ll be ok. Trouble is I’m getting nowhere with the actual work. I keep getting distracted by dealing with the disasters. How to avoid that?

What's wrong?
You could always start by telling us what the problem is and maybe someone can help?
Buck up ...
... funny phrase that … make a list, keep out of FC unless you have to go in, unplug the internet …, drink red wine – won’t help the work but you won’t care!
Re the exhibition – go with what you have and learn from it …
I just read this and I think it applies to us – although the author is actually talking about the Narnia film:
This is no deep thought, I’m simply tired of people treating grown-ups in a way that suggests we have no brains. Also, it strikes me that when we create study materials that lead people to an answer that we provide, we have, perhaps, left out the best answers – i.e. the ones people find on their own. We are short-circuiting people’s imaginations.

Ascetic
The quote seems appropriate to me too.
I nearly went for the red wine last night but today I’m glad I didn’t. I’ve ramped up the self-sacrificing ascetic lifestyle just about as far as it can go in order to survive November and quite surpised myself. It remains to be seen if that’s enough to get through though.
