		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading a great book, Willpower, which talks about the importance of self-control and self management. While there were many good points in the book, a few stood out for me as being especially relevant to the dissertation process. 

Willpower, as defined in the book, seems to be the capacity to make good choices. Willpower resides in us within a fixed amount, and every choice we make pulls from the same reserve of willpower. This would explain, for instance, why you are so capable of resisting a chocolate chip cookie at the beginning of the day, but, by the end of the day, you want that cookie like mad. According to the authors, this is because, as the day wears on, you've likely been subjected to numerous pulls on your willpower- and why, at 6pm, you consider eating the cookie that you so easily resisted at 10am. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're like most graduate students, you have gotten caught up in a culture of suffering. 

The culture of suffering says you need to delay all happiness, all joy, and all good things until you finish the dissertation.

It's almost like you aren't "worthy" of being happy and living a good life until you have the three letters after your name. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The idea for this post came to me during one of my dissertation coaching sessions earlier this week, when a new client and I were discussing why she had made such good progress this week. She noted that it was, in part, because she had constructed a timeline to finish, and felt inspired by this, rather than overwhelmed or avoidant.

She had constructed timelines in the past, of course, but had always failed to meet them- and so the timelines made her feel worse rather than better. Using one of my recommended strategies, she was able to construct a timeline that not only made her feel good, but, also, spurred her to greater productivity than she had had for the past year.]]></description>

A tendency to overestimate in the short term is one reason for a lot of dissertation frustration and failure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you've been spinning your wheels or not making the kind of progress that you want to make, here are your next three steps:

1. Your first step is to set a reasonable goal for the next week of progress.
2. The second step is that you need to set up a reward system for yourself
3. The third thing is you need to just actually take the action.]]></description>
