This Time Next Year
The act of planning helps us to think: when change does come along there might be new work to do or challenges to overcome but we’ll be better placed for the planning.
If you’re working towards submission then plan for getting there. What milestones are along the way? How will you measure your success? And how will you remind yourself of your progress and what that means?
If your viva is in the near future then plan to be ready. What are the key tasks you have to do? How are you recording your progress? And how can you build up your confidence for the viva?
For both, what can you do to help when things change?
This time next year you might have submitted and had your viva – but what else will be different? What can you do today to help you be ready for the future that’s on the way?
