Goal Progress Reflection
Looking back at my goals for the month, I am seeing that I haven’t figured out how to scale workload for success. I didn’t account for my time away and the sheer volume of individual tasks required to complete each of these steps. As I move forward through the end of the month, I’m adjusting my expectations to focus on the biomarker paper and eDNA analysis. SICB preparation can be shifted into October as we won’t have abstract notice until that month anyway.
