Is this you?
- You’ve been working on your literature review for months (or maybe even longer), but still haven’t made the progress you want.
- You’re overwhelmed by the endless reading and note-taking, unsure how to organize it all.
- Feedback from your advisor has you questioning your entire approach: “The review lacks organization,” they say. “This could be so much clearer,” they say.
- You’re exhausted, spending hours revising but not getting anywhere, wondering if you’ll ever get it right.
- You’re tired of feeling stuck, questioning, “Who am I to critique the work of others?” and “Can I really do this?”
I get it. The literature review can be one of the hardest parts of your dissertation journey, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
