I got really lost with respect to research today. In almost all of my projects I am supposed to be mentoring postdocs and students. Today various blocks came up that interfered with that mentoring. And then I found that I had nothing sensible to work on! Of course that isn't true: I have literally a dozen projects in a mature state waiting on final work from me. But I couldn't figure out how to work on any of them. Research is hard. At the end of the day, Andy Casey (Monash) helped me out by giving me some very specific jobs to do.
