A crucial component to completing my Ph.D. dissertation: boredom. Just stepping away & letting my mind wander while I walk on trails or fold laundry or stare at the sunset have been KEY for figuring out how to juxtapose ideas in Chapter 5. The answers just fall in my lap!#phdchat

@Andrea_Trudeau Hang in there. Sometimes stepping away to do something else helped me to get through Chapter Five.
@authorJWiller Thank you! ♥️ When I was working on my candidacy exam, I realized that hyper-focusing and trying to force ideas that just weren’t there was not working. It’s powerful to step away. (It’s just hard to do sometimes!)
