·      Use every paper you write to bring you closer to being an expert on your topic

·      Listen to the guidance from your faculty (they are there to HELP you)

·      Use your peers to brainstorm ideas (science does not happen in a vacuum)

·      Take initiative! You are the CEO of your education

·      Communicate, communicate, communicate

·      Be aware of IRB issues early on

·      Don’t be just open to feedback, seek it out!

·      Remember: A dissertation/doctoral project is a DEMONSTRATION project that must meet your university’s requirements; not your life’s work 

·      Productivity hacks: Batch items, check out Remember the Milk, use something like Evernote (or something similar) to organize your sources, tickler file, etc. 

·      Think about the big things so that all the small things go in the right direction
