Opposites and Dissertations
January 25th is Opposite Day. Celebrate the day by considering doing the opposite of what everyone tells you to do for your dissertation…
- Instead of choosing a topic you’re passionate about, pick choose a topic that holds only marginal interest for you but that you can tolerate.
- If you’re just starting out, don’t choose a topic at all, consider what you can logistically do and build from there.
- Rather than writing your Problem Statement or Chapter 1, in general, first, start the writing process by thoroughly outlining the last chapter of your proposal.
- Remember when your mom told you that your best was good enough? Well, by now your best is likely much more than good enough. Don’t do your best; do good enough!
