First day of second year

Assume an overall time plan of:

• Year 1 - read the literature
• Year 2 - collect the data
• Year 3 - write it up

I am now at the start of year 2. Today I find a note from my supervisor.

"Move on to drafting your interview schedule and arranging your pilot study"

This is encouraging - leave the dry old literature and do something. Hurrah!
