No Progress Today - Revised timeline

I did not work on my dissertation today, because I had to do some edits for an article that Dail Fields and I co-authored: Exploring Servant Leadership across Cultures: A Study of Followers

in Ghana and the USA . It will appear in the Nov. 2007 issue of Leadership (Sage Publications).

Dail is presenting our paper at the Academy of Management meeting in Philadelphia this week.

Due to my travel schedule at work I had to revise my timeline to complete my proposal. Here's the new one

• August 22 - Chapter 1 finished
• September 7 - Chapter 2 finished
• October 1 - Chapter 3 finished.

60 days to write my Proposal

I have revised my timeline. I want to defend my proposal in October. So, I want to submit it by October 1. That gives me exactly 60 days. Three chapters in 60 days! That's 20 days a chapter. So here are my targets:

• Chapter 1: Aug 22
• Chapter 2: Sep 11
• Chapter 3: Oct 1

I expect each chapter to average 40 pages that equals 120 pages. So, I need to write 2 pages of usable material a day. So, I am going to set myself a goal of writing 4 pages a day, with the expectation that 2 pages of that content will be usable somewhere in the work.
