Things will be Tight = Motivation

August 26th, 2011 at 08:48 pm

So DH found out that 2nd job probably won't work out. This totally screws my budget, but does give me a good motivation to work hard on my dissertation. I want to defend my proposal by December 9 so that I can get a pay raise. So here are the basic goals:

September - Read to saturation in the two main theories I'm using
October - Write at least 1 page a day until finished
November - Revise my paper
November 23 - Email my paper to my committee
December 9 - Defend my proposal

I'm hoping I'll work hard enough and write fast enough to push up the final 2 deadlines so I'm not doing everything at the very last minute. Still I'm really pumped now to work hard. All right enough reflection, time to read some more Vygotsky!

    Argh, I am dealing with my dissertation proposal right now, as well, and it is so daunting some days. Still, it leads to the end goal, and the only insurance we have for getting out (successfully) is through it, right? (At least, that is what my Mom always says.) Smile Good luck, read/write on, and I wish you all the best with your committee!
