Small efforts

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out. -Robert Collier, author

This quote is the essence of working on a dissertation: small efforts, small steps, doing a little something every day. Sometimes life seems to overwhelm and it seems impossible to work on your paper, but remember this quote and do a little something on it- file some papers, read an article, just think about your project – perhaps consider your theory and what it predicts.

Every day do something on your dissertation, sit and write for an hour, read articles in the waiting room or while you are waiting for someone. You can do this… one small step at a time.

Next time we will consider, what is a dissertation?  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
