Ending fatigue when writing a project
So I am just finishing up my bachelor project. I have about one more week in which to get it done. The thing is, I've done all the calculations, the derivations and made a Matlab program to solve said derived equations numerically. I've also done most of those numerical calculations, which does in fact take a lot of time (between 12-24 hours for each series of calculations of which I needed about 10), though it isn't time I can't use for anything else, since it's just my computer crunching numbers. I've even written most of the project.
However, I still need to write like 3-4 (compared to the 22 I've already done) more pages of theory and a few more pages discussing results, introduction and conclusion etc. I also need to go back through everything I've written and most likely rewrite parts of it due too not having formulated everything clearly, due to maybe having misunderstood some theory here and there etc. To make sure it contains streamlined internally consistent theory, it explains every approximation and that it contains proper physical interpretations of the mathematical results. The thing is, compared to what I've already done it isn't a lot and yet I find myself becoming less and less productive and I just can't concentrate on it for too long, at any one time. The entire project is beginning to bore me, because I've already done the interesting stuff. The end is in sight, but exactly because it is, I find myself suddenly caring less.
However these final steps are paramount. No matter how good the rest of my project is (that is the actual derivations and results), it's not going to be a good project overall, unless the presentation is good with clear, concise explanations of what's going on that shows I have a good physical and mathematical understanding of the problem. But I just don't feel motivated to do it right now. I'm fatigued and tired of the whole thing. : (
