It's a new season in many parts of the world. Consider how you can bring a sense of renewal to your dissertation project. Can you shift your daily routine to include a walk (or run) outside after an hour of working on your project? Start an accountability and discussion group with fellow students? Schedule a zoom session with your supervisor to discuss new possibilities? Sometimes, the slightest shift in routine can be energizing!

When writing your own "good book" (your academic dissertation) it can be challenging to silence your constant internal critic. You may find yourself editing and censoring before you even start writing, which blocks flow and inhibits progress. Try to be a little less cautious...let yourself get that draft going. You can edit and refine later.
