8.5 hours straight with no lunch break (by my own choice because I didn't want to spend even longer outside). Ugh, I had hoped it would be a short day today - it was easy at least, mostly support for someone else and driving - but just a lot of time standing around not working on my assignment, while my brain and guts are in stress overdrive again. I'm glad that my work now ends when I leave, but whose bright idea was it to reintroduce ongoing stress with uni!!!

I'm going to just eat and lie down for a bit before I attempt to do any uni stuff. I'm 70% of the way there. Just need to skim through enough articles to cite them appropriately...

I just saw this. I haven't used Zotero but the Lemmy nerds recommend it https://mander.xyz/post/17175983

as an academic, zotero is absolutely the way to go.

Endnote does a job, but is comparatively slow, clunky and huge as a program - not to mention expensive, if you don't have institutional access.

Even WITH institutional access to endnote, I use zotero and pay for syncing myself.
