The Process…

Baby steps to complete my PhD

Post 5.

Patience in waiting, in revising, in re-reading, in accepting. I continue to learn the process at the same time as I learn my content.

The process is long, but now I feel I can move on to the next step: The Proposal. In the meantime, I attended residency 3 in Atlanta, where I reviewed so many of the steps for completing my prospectus. Clearly, I should have gone to that one a year ago, but such is life, it does get in the way sometimes. I do have now a clear picture for completing my Proposal.

Presently I am working on my Chapter 1. Adapting the prospectus and following the checklist provided. It does not seem hard, I may be overconfident right now…

What does seem hard is making time to just sit and focus, making the time to just sit and read, and sit and write, and sit and think. This is the biggest challenge when you do not want to neglect your family, but also want to meet your professional goal.
