Today I listened to Dr Helen Kara on planning research projects.* One of her ten tips is to remember the other parts of your life and plan space for them.
Some branches of social research treat the whole of life as research and data. For some, being researcher is their core identity. It is their backstage performance not just when they are on display. It cannot be switched off because it is who they are.
I used to be like that. But I am learning the importance of just being and not continually observing and thinking. My research is richer.
