OK, so maybe this is what I need to do. Or is this freaky? No: what’s freaky is juggling twenty-five projects at once.

I’m in Australia! Hooray! My mum and dad and sister and I moved from Perth to Bergen when I was a kid, and ever since I’ve loved two homes: Australia and Norway. Walking off the plane last night and breathing in the scent of eucalyptus in the warm night air […]
That’s almost the title of a paper I read today, Do Multilingual LLMs Think In English?, which uses several methods to poke into what a language model actually does when responding to a prompt in a language other than English. Spoiler: it looks as though it goes via English even […]
I gave a talk about AI today for a group of knowledge workers in the public sector – people who are asked to write reports summarising research on a specific topic, and who coordinate funding schemes and advise on policy – and I asked them how they use LLMs in […]
Occasionally I love ChatGPT. Like when I gave it a research paper I’d written and the itinerary for my planned trip to Australia this November and asked it to look for related art exhibitions I should visit or people to meet and it came up with some great suggestions with […]
Annette Markham and I gave the opening keynote for NORDMEDIA 2025 together and had a lot of fun! I’ll try to write more about our talk later, but I wanted to share this list of ideas from the audience right away. The tagline of the conference is “Imagining Livable Futures”, […]
This morning I received the copy-edited version of a paper I recently submitted to a journal. This is always cause for celebration, another step towards publication accomplished! But this time the copy-editor wasn’t human, it was an AI. We have undertaken a light text edit using the tool Paperpal Preflight; […]

I’ve tried this so many times! And maybe it’s just me, but I can’t seem to tell my brain to do this stuff. I can organise my time and think ok…I’ll focus on ‘what are games’ for about 2 hours (before I go mad), then I’ll read some more for 2 hours, break, then I’ll write some more on what makes TSO a game. Now…I may be a completely lost idiot…but I can’t get my brain to function that way. It may take me a whole hour just to get into writing about my research on what a game is and then when I’m on a role…I can’t stop just because I’ve scheduled it. But then again…I only have one project to think of…so I suppose my problems are minimal compared to yours Jill…LOL!

I think it’s different when you’re working on a single project and you have a whole day. I’m not sure what the bexst way of organising your day for that is – a friend of mine writes every morning and reads in the afternoon, becaue she finds reading less demanding than writing. Another friend claims to do the opposite.
Right now what I find really hard is trying to juggle about twenty different projects and give them all enoiugh attention to keep them moving. Clearly the grass is always greener – I remember having just one big project was really hard too. but right now the hardest thing is switching constantly.
And I don’t know, one big project really is hard. I don’t think there’s one solution…

I have recently had to get my life/schedule in order as well because I keep double booking things (I tend to be over optimistic with time!!) It helps to read these posts where I see that I am not the only one and there were some GREAT links to follow as well! Thanks!!

This is done in iCal, but I assume it’d work in any calendar software – there are some technical discussions at the other end of that link 🙂
