Today I’ll ask you to make a quick assessment of your current dissertation working style. Are you working hard? Working smart? or hardly working? Working hard means you’re logging in tons of hours. You make good progress, now and then, but more often have a sense that you’re retracing your steps and revisiting old ground. Working smart means you’re logging consistent work times- and getting results. You’ve completed an outline, or a section (or a chapter) and are feeling that your efforts are being rewarded. Hardly working means…well, you know what that means. It’s important to periodically evaluate whether you’re working hard or working smart. If you can only choose one- work smart. The more efficiently you can complete your tasks, WITH DEFINABLE work product, the faster you’ll finish. If you keep putting in lots of hours and don’t have much to show, back up and try another way. (See one of my previous blog entries for help with that). *** Publishing note: For those who celebrate, have a Happy Thanksgiving! I’m taking the later part of the week off, so look for another blog entry early next week. Enjoy!
