Thing 2: Keep a detailed dissertation notebook
 |
| Dissertation Diary Notebook |
Don't wait. No piece of information is too small or unimportant to record. Whether paper, digital, electronic or video, make a record of ideas and compile them in one location. Your phone is a convenient way to make notes and take pictures of ideas. Also, a dedicated tangible notebook or diary entitled dissertation will be a necessity. Everything will not be digitized in the beginning, so do not take a chance on losing anything important - save information from all forms of media including handwritten notes.
I don't want to overwhelm you with notebooks, but saving a notebook for each graduate course is highly recommended. This notebook should contain handouts, class notes and returned tests and assignments. Like the dissertation notebook, these will contain information pieces which are priceless when you start your dissertation.
The whole dissertation process is a puzzle. You are collecting pieces and will not know how they fit until the end - so do not pass up a chance to catch a piece of your puzzle. Happy Notebooking!
