Me: I have no idea how to fit this much stuff in the short amount of time I have before summer holidays. So many loose ends to tie up in the next 3 weeks.
Also me: Accepts invitation to write a book chapter to be submitted this time next year because then I'll surely have time.
@renordquist@academicchatter yes, that's the way it is in academia. I still have some deadlines before the holidays, and every year I say to myself: next year, you will do it differently...
