Interesting thought about dissertation work

Here is a interesting idea that was in my email box today (courtesy of a PhD newsletter)- about integrating our dissertation work into our daily lives:

"Build the dissertation into your day as much as possible.

Integrating the dissertation into your daily life is a fantastic habit. It is much more helpful than placing it in its own category, where it begins to become an overwhelming and looming task.

How can you better integrate the dissertation into your day? How can it become more automatic, like taking a shower or brushing your teeth?"

I hadn't really thought about it like that...more often - I see it as the overwhelming and looming task. I will be working on a different perspective!
