As 2015 winds down, it is
worthwhile for you to reflect on different aspects of your life and how these
aspects relate to your dissertation plans and progress. Over the next few posts
remaining in 2015, we will consider these; I encourage you to take some time
with each and write about them in your journal.
Today, let's
consider your family. In 2015, how have you done with balancing the demands of
your family life? What crises have arisen? What successes and new developments
have taken place? Consider how you might improve things in 2016. Perhaps you
can dedicate certain hours of the week just for certain family members (e.g.,
partner/spouse and children). A date night with your spouse can do wonders for
communication and support. Setting aside time for weekly family meetings, where
everyone can share their ideas and issues, can lead to more time available for
other things in your life (like your dissertation).
Next time, we will reflect on work. Do you have an issue or
a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Would you like
to be a guest writer? Send me your ideas! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
