This post describes my life for the last YEAR. I finished my written and oral comps in August of 2013 and have done basically nothing for my dissertation for the last 13 months I attribute some of this to life happening and a ton of emotionally draining situations (the death of both grandmothers, my childhood dog, and then my own surgery along with the hospitalization of my boyfriend). But now things are settled down and everything seems to be going well in my life...yet I can't get motivated to do ANYTHING for my dissertation. I don't want to research, meet with my professors, or as my mentor would say "put my ass in the chair" Has anyone come up with anything that works to get out of the slump / rut / funk?? I need to make some progress and get this PhD. soon. Please help! any advice would be appreciated.
