Get started on a project. It won’t happen by itself, and the only way out is through. ❏ Understand the assignment. If you have any questions, now’s the time to ask your instructor. Resolve lingering issues so you are free to think about the project itself. ❏ Decide on your topic. If your topic is unfocused, you will have trouble researching it. Use the Goldilocks approach: Not too broad, not too narrow, but just right. ❏ Plan your work. Set some deadlines and stick to them. You’re busy, so you’ve got to remain flexible, but having a plan of attack can make a big difference.
