Twelfth lesson of academic logic

It's very easy not to write a PhD, because there's nothing that can't keep you from actually writing it: Cleaning your fridge, going to find a Turkish supermarket, reading anything that is remotely not connected to your topic, having a chat with a friend or a collegue, going for coffee; pick and choose.
It's also very easy to feel bad about your PhD in general and your topic in particular; any negative comment by a passer-by that doesn't have a clue what you're writing about will do.

Conclusion: I'm a PhD-hypochondriac. It causes me a constant level of sorrow and worries, without actually anything really troublesome happening (least of all: that I am actually writing).
