I’ve been making the most out of this second 🚣🏻summer🌅 session away from teaching to keep cranking💻 out my doctoral🎓 📖dissertation until school starts!
My work load on finishing my draft📝 that details
has occupied the majority of everyday these past six weeks ~ so this can compare to a full time job!
S is for: 💡Scholar✨ = 🌈Social📳 🔭Scientist🔬
Despite not needing to report to a classroom everyday or answer to anyone, I as my own boss during my sabbatical still maintained a schedule.
My Around-the-Clock⏰ to Become Doc Routine
- 🌇Daily😵 😲wake-up😳 📋non-negotiables: prayer
(the 
Rosary), skin care, feed A&A
- 🍳Breakfast🍊 of 🏆Champs: fuel⛽️ up (postpone coffee☕️ to 2h after I wake up to help me sleep more easily later)
- 💪🏽Beast👊🏽 💓Mode: work out to get my brain juices & blood flowing
- 💡Scholar⚡️ 📓Mode: revise my working document for as many as 12h/day
- Shower: taking a cold one on these hot dog days of summer can energize me between my workout and study session or I’ll relax in the bath between my scholarshift and bed time to snuggle in clean sheets
- 🌈Pleasure🌟👓Reading: I haven’t read as much non-scholarly material as I used to love to before college & grad school, but I’ve found that a little bit helps to ease my mind & unwind lately ~ my current reads are relevant to my research in an unconventional way (stay tuned this Study Saturday)
- 💭Choose😴 to 💤Snooze: as a chronic insomniac, I must make a conscientious effort to hit the sack ~ while I tend to stay up late reviewing and proofing my paper, I find that I’m more effective when I work on it earlier in the day with energy!
Just like Vince Carter
had discipline with the Dallas Mavericks
a couple of seasons ago, I also didn’t take break days! Yes, it’s essential to have some R&R, but at this point, I’m
In the Zone 🎯
So I can’t afford a single day off …
Therefore, I take 🌴mini-vacays, even for just a few minutes or hours⌚️ for my stories

For a 💡dose🍊 of motivation:
My 👓Must-See👀 💿DVDs📀
Get Coached is a collection💾 of 🎬segments🎥 from 🌠winning🏆 🏉football🏈 📣coaches📢
- 4 NFL head coaches, including 2 Mikes ~ one (Singletary) who played for another Mike (Ditka) & the father (Buddy Ryan) of another featured coach (Rex Ryan), + another one (Sean Payton) who I actually reported on for one of my last doctoral classes
- The Florida State Seminoles former coach (Bobby Bowden)
I also am including how their speeches🎤 ~ which are relevant not just in terms of athletic leadership, but 👔corporate💼 🏣business, as well ~ tie in with the 🌈exemplary💭 leadership theory that I’m exploring in my doctoral🎓 📜dissertation.
📢Cheers👏🏽 to 🏉NFL🏈 Preseason I 🎊2015🎉 👟kickoff!
