As you
begin the quarter, take a few minutes to consider a realistic goal for what you
can achieve. I recommend laying out week by week what you can accomplish, be
sure to include holidays and vacations. For each week set yourself a “deliverable”
– a definite measurable accomplishment. For example, writing 3 pages, reading 5
new articles, etc.
If you have not already done so,
begin to establish some good dissertation habits, such as carrying articles to
read during down and waiting times, and planning some special dissertation time
to work. Many students find it helps to go to a library or quiet coffee shop
where you won’t be disturbed. Make your dissertation a priority; otherwise you
are just wasting your money.
Would you really like someone to
lay out what is expected to complete your dissertation? I have done that for
you! Check out my book on Amazon: Finding
Your Way to a Ph.D.: Advice from the Dissertation Mentor It is free on
kindle if you are a prime member.
Next time we will return to Chapter
5- Limitations and Recommendations. 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!
