Last week I had dinner with a PhD student who was visiting to interview for a postdoc. She said something like, "I wasn't really thinking about finishing my dissertation, but then suddenly I had enough data and all I had to do was write it up! I was surprised because I didn't think I was working that hard, but I guess I do think about my research all the time, so I'm kind of working even when I'm doing other stuff."
She is a better person than me. She was a suspiciously pleasant dinner companion.
