For those of you planning on a Degree Sometime Before You Die:

  • You need to start making fake deadlines for yourself.
  • Try asking a professor, "So, what would you like to see next time we meet?" or "So...how much time do you think I should give myself to write x?" Then when they answer, make that your deadline. For reals.
  • Look for Calls for Papers for conferences in your field. Use the CFP abstract deadlines as deadlines for yourself. That way, you have to write something by that date, and if the paper gets accepted, well, it looks like you're writing that chapter! The conference becomes your new deadline (and helps you make connections for outside readers from the conference, etc.)
  • The CGU Dissertation Workshop...workshops work! It's a ready-made set of deadlines: We're meeting February 9, February 23, March 9, March 23. Pick one of those dates and say, "By this date, I'm going to submit x!" Then do it.
  • Make an appointment at the CGU Writing Center, weeks in advance. You don't have to specify what you're working on when you make the appointment. But you know that date is coming up, and you'll have to show the tutor something, so you'll have to write something. You can also say, "I'm going to send something online to the Writing Center in two weeks!" Then do it. Rinse and repeat.
