Reflection
A habit of reflecting on the
present and recent past can have a powerful effect on how you see and cope with
the present and the future. Questions to
ask yourself regularly include:
What
did I do related to my dissertation today?
This week?
What
went well with my dissertation today?
This week?
What
did I enjoy?
When
did I feel my best?
What
did not go so well, why?
How
can I avoid that, change it, think about it differently?
What
can I do to get more positives into my feelings of my dissertation and fewer
negatives?
To get even more
from these reflection questions, write your responses in your research
journal. This gives you the opportunity
to go back over time, and look at how things have changed and monitor your
growth and development.
Next time, I will post an updated
blog index. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to
discuss in a future post? Send me an email with your ideas.
