Catalysts For Action

I bought a leather cover for my blog post ideas notebook and it completely changed how I use it.

The cover makes the book feel special. The cover protects the paper notebook so I feel better about carrying it around with me. The cover has little pockets for notes too!

And the cover is an extra reminder to me about what the book is for. It’s one more thing to encourage me to do the work.

The leather cover wasn’t that expensive. By itself it doesn’t do the work. It just helps the work get done.

What little things can you do to help your viva prep? What little changes could make you feel more ready for your viva?

By themselves little changes aren’t the work but they help the process along. A small change can be a catalyst for action. It can be an encouragement for or a reminder of what you’re doing or why you’re doing it.

What could you do to help your viva? Make a list of some ideas that might help – then make a choice and take it from there.

PS: one more helpful idea would be to subscribe to the Viva Survivors blog and get a new helpful post emailed to you every day!
