    A work mentor once told me: 80% of the deliverable is the 20% of the work you don’t fucking want to do. It’s served me well.

    Review that data.

    Conduct that literature review.

      I’m honestly not sure what to do with this information. Just do the 80% I want to do and hand it in, close enough?

        No, it’s saying do the shitty part of the work you’re putting off. You can write a great intro, make sure the report is all formated to the nines, but the crux of it is the results and discussion. That’s where you give them what you signed up to do when you took on the work.
