Wow I have opposite problem. I don't like reading papers that much. And while I do write I don't like to spend too much time there either, so I just end up procrastinating by making new things with plots, analysis, codes, helper scripts and such.

yea that is me too, I found mind maps and audiobooks/natural reader for papers also scratches this itch.

I wish I could do some more reading, I just never do because my higher-ups bombard me with tasks and want me to publish all my results right away no matter how much background I know.

there are three moods:

  • can't stop reading

  • can't stop writing

  • if i think about the written word i'll cry
