Setting Goals from Writing
Setting smaller, incremental writing goals and tracking your work provides numerous benefits. Writing a thesis or dissertation is an incredible task that may be daunting. While a completed thesis or dissertation is the ultimate goal, it is valuable to also focus on what you accomplished yesterday, what you are accomplishing today, and what you plan to accomplish tomorrow - the step-by-step journey. Setting incremental goals can provide you with insight to times of day and places you are most productive; can be tailored to your day-to-day needs - what you can mentally handle on any particular day from editing a paragraph to outlining the key points of a research article you are citing to writing the basics of you methodology. Tracking your writing progress can also guide and assist in conversations with your advisor and/or committee members as to where you are focusing and tracking your accomplishments.
