Title: Compelling advice that is on-the-nose for procrastinators.
Product review: Ms. Bolker knows every trick in the book that procrastinators use to put off the inevitable. She jumps in at the beginning to help the thesis student make the best decisions for winnowing a topic, choosing an advisor, setting up a daily writing schedule, to chuggging along on draft five, or heading toward defense. One of her pithy reminders is, "Always park on the downhill slope". By this, she means stop today with an easy to find starting point for tomorrow. Ms. Bolker is kind, understanding, and forgiving. Her advice goes beyond the post-modern "Just Do It". She gives you the plan, the tools, the prodding (even ideas for self-rewards) for getting it done.
