Hello All

I thought I would start a new post.  Today is the last day of July 2009.  Even if you missed your deadline that should not be an excuse to stop writing, just set another one.

It’s Friday and another opportunity to get something done today. Stopping waiting for the feeling or some enthusiasm to hit you before you do something on your dissertation. If I waited to feel like exercising to exercise I would never get out of bed.The reality is I am never going to feel like it….so the alternative is to do it anyway because the end of the work out is the best part of the work out for me. I work out using videos and the best part is when they come to the cooldown part.

You are working on your dissertation, what is the sign that you have come to the best part? When you advisor sets the defense date, after the defense, after the revisions are done, or after you have gotten the all clear from the Graduate School and now you can submit it to Proquest?

You need to create some markers so that you know you are getting towards the end. I always recommend printout a hardcopy of what you have so that you can see how much more you have to get done.

Keep up the good work and have a good weekend.
