Inch by inch, it’s a cinch!

Assalam...

Dear All,

I think... No matter how much I accomplished, I always felt it should have been more. No matter what I was working on now, I was continually bombarded with thoughts that I should be working on something else.

Sometimes, I had trouble focusing on the task at hand, and would flit from task to task, not really accomplishing anything.

Watching this pattern, I began to notice that I became stressed and unfocused whenever I began to think of the task in wholes- like… ‘I have to write a whole page, or I have to read the whole article, or I have to write the whole chapter.’

Instead of thinking in “wholes”, I asked myself to think in ones. ‘I have to write one sentence. I have to write one paragraph. I will write one page.’

As I began to focus on “ones”, I realized that any project, when broken down small enough, becomes easy to do. “Inch by inch, it's a cinch!” :)

I was reminded of this today when I was thinking about what to share with all of you. It might be a good time to evaluate our dissertation process. What’s working well for us? What needs to be different? What actions will we take to make this the year of our Ph.D.?

Remember, small steps can lead to big results.

Inch by inch, it's a cinch!

Cheers!!!

Fazil…
