In response to staying on task, I'm not sure how I could get off task or forget about doing things for my subculture considering I write about it nearly every day. I'm not the type of writer that writes a bunch of nonsense ahead of time in hopes it will make my paper better, but unfortunately that is what I'm constantly being asked to do so I'll just have to accept it.
Here's my plan: Read some journals, talk to some people, write my paper. I know that probably isn't what a professor is wanting to hear but that's what works for me. My reasons for not doing further research is because I probably already know that stuff. Yes, their are some things I need to research more (i.e. maintenance of pools, budgeting, etc.) but these questions will be answered in my interviews, which I've stated before.
When I'm at my field site I am working. I am coaching and am very involved in the community of swimming (which I've stated before). I go to meets, interact with athletes and other coaches, and observe things I've been observing for years. None of this is new to me and that may be where my hostility is coming from considering I'm sick of taking time to repeat myself over and over and over again when I could be researching. So I'm not so sure if the question is whether we're on task or not, its whether the task we've been stuck on is the correct one... Wow I feel better for venting now. I really just need to conduct my interviews, compile my research and knowledge and sit down and write this paper.
