Welcome to this new blog that I am starting as an "accountability tool". I read today a very good article for PhD students that need help writing their dissertation. They mention a kind of coaching offered by students who have just finished their PhD to those still struggling with it. They both meet on a weekly basis. The one who is writing reports on what she did the previous week, hands in some pages and they decide together what the next step will be. This is the way my old professor Nubiola used to work with his students. I wish today I had someone to coach me like that, someone who had already gone through this process. Since I don't, I thought I could try to coach myself, and have this blog as "accountability tool" for all of you to see. I have actually been thinking of this idea for quite some time, but thought it could become a further distraction. Now I think it's worth a try.
Here I will post at the end of each day what I have accomplished and what is due the next day, and you can see if I did what I had planned. At the end of each week I will post some pages or the like, and will decide on a work plan for the following week. I would be really grateful for your comments and opinions, and especially for rooting for me. You're welcome to poke me or scold me or correct my English! It feels somewhat rusty... but it will also be good practice so that is why I will write in English.
Thank you!!
