Read academic articles regularly

hello lit review for paper writing course.

oo and my dept at work has started a monthly journal article discussion. first one was yesterday, and went good for a first time.

but now I’ve got research projects going that are going to fuel this. I wonder if this is ever a just because thing for people.

new project at work is going to have some of this – and TWO classes are going to move it at lighting speed. But since I don’t have much choice about the classes now that I’m in them, I’m not sure they count. But they’ll make it easier to continue after them, I hope.

all this graduate school is starting to pay off

Read this maybe a week ago? Not counting them as totally finished until I add them to BibTex.

Inspired me to seek out something maybe a little more relevant to future research instead of just reading something somewhat interesting.

I’d forgotten how easy it is to find ideas for your own research when you read other people’s – sadly I don’t need a thesis topic for econ!

i think it’s an important habit to develop. I’d like to end up naturally doing it weekly. but starting with monthly and tracking it here might help me get started.

I wonder if I print things out largeprintish (I wonder if there’s a way to convert pdfs for that.. ) if I could read them on the elliptical…
