Doesn't
It Have To Be Perfect? One
of the most common dissertation maladies is telling yourself that your dissertation
had better be perfect. When
your gremlin tells you that you or your dissertation is never good enough, the
results are inability to find the perfect topic, endless revisions, and dissatisfaction
with your self and your process. Look
closely at the strategies your gremlin is employing. You may find strategies
like: you CAN'T do a dissertation, you SHOULD be able to do this, you DON'T
deserve a Ph.D. or some other assumption that disempowers you.
No
Dissertation is Ever Done
The truth of the matter is that no dissertation is ever done, is ever perfect.
Finally, you and your committee will decide it is good enough, you will submit
it, and you will move on with your life. |
