Thesis Toy Box

Dear Reader,

Today is July 8th and I have been working furiously on a particular chapter. I am finding continued support as I work on this chapter and as I near its completion, I have found a method of working that gives me the structure I need to be most productive.

I have a toy box! In my toy box (a container that I got on sale at Target), the size of a small inflatable raft, I have all my chapter references: articles, books, notes, emails, penciled scrawl from visiting the rare books rooms . . . everything that relates to the chapter on which I am working.

There is not enough room on my desk or work table for my sources, but I wanted them together and not spread out in my house on various book shelves, file cabinets and the such. My toy box lets me have all in one place. My toy box also protects my work from my curious cats and allows my work space to be available to my niece and nephew when they come over to study

Back to work for this one.

Please feel free to offer a strategy that has advanced your work.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Best,

Dale
