A. I think I'm doing research well. I definitely have a lot of it. I have gotten eight books on home restoration and design; which I have read through and taking notes on. I have watched documentaries on home restoration. I have interview people, who have done the practical restoration; as well as people who just plan it. I have done tons of online research. I have read stories about people who have restored their home, researched certain rooms, and characteristics of houses. I have even done practical research on small insignificant parts of the house, like researching what type of nail was used in 1910. I think my research is going very well, I see the project progressing in stages. I’m in the planning and research stage, that will lead into, and support, the hands on stage. I'm spending almost too much time on this project because I really enjoy doing it.
B. A quote from the "Need Motivation? Declare a Deadline" article that I think reflects my type of motivation is, "Making that declaration was a good move, as it turns out. Publicly committing to meeting a deadline is powerful motivator because it puts your reputation on the line". Personally if I say I'm going to to do something I need to get it done. I feel guilty if I don't, and like I let someone down, and myself. Setting a goal, rather than a certain dead line works well for me. This is mostly because I'm very busy with work during the week, and I never know how long I will have to do a project. But if I say I want this goal to be done by the end of the week I will spend hours when I have time to get it done. I have never had much of a problem getting work done on time, mostly because I hate the feeling of guilt more than anything else. I will do anything to avoid this feeling.
