One tool my clients use is to keep a dissertation success journal. This journal- a simple notebook- is a way to mark achievements and milestones in the process. It can also be a place to capture ideas and thoughts about the project, and a place to set goals and reward yourself for reaching them. Too often, ABD’s look at the dissertation process as one big chunk- and don’t take the time to acknowledge their incremental progress to the finish line. If you’re feeling unmotivated, stuck, helpless, or could use a bit more appreciation for your progress, consider starting a dissertation success journal today. The more progress you notice, the more progress you’ll make. Try it and see.
