The biggest strategy that helped me get things done was the Nike philosophy: just do it. If I didn’t force myself to work on things, then I wouldn’t get anywhere on my project and nothing would get done. It kept me on track for literal reasons because I forced myself to stay on track. The second thing that helped me stay on track was talking to peers with similar projects for advice on how to write certain sections. When I was confused, it was really helpful to hear about the thing I was stuck on from someone who was already done with it. One scenario I could’ve handled better was fixing my project after being approved with modifications by the IRB. I let that take way longer than it should’ve, and it took too much of my time. A second scenario I could’ve handled better was waiting for responses from bigger schools. I waited for three weeks before sending emails to different schools, and that was generally a waste of my time. Even though I got other stuff done during that time, I definitely could’ve been more productive than I was. In the future, I now have a lot of helpful time management tools.
