Exposure therapy

At the grant workshop I went to a few weeks ago, the instructor said that when you get a grant review back and have to rewrite it, to read it, put it the drawer, read it the next day, put it back, and repeat until you stop having noxious feelings about reading the comments.

I'm not quite there yet.

I started today by making an Excel spreadsheet to put the comments and my thoughts. I got through the first reviewer's comments before I had to stop. There are a lot of different kinds of audiences in the social sciences, especially around the issue of stigma, and the first reviewer was in a different audience than I'm generally part of.
