    Hi Olga! That sounds very usefull but… (There’s always a but,,,) I cant visualise and end when I’m trying to write a literature review and I have a pile of papers to read. Is that feeling of knowing where to start but not having a clue on where that would lead you once you start… Any tip on this? Thanks so much and enjoy your new office!

      Hi Yolanda, thank you for stopping by. I am glad this video has been useful to you!

      Concerning your question, you say you know where to start but don’t have a clue where it is going to lead you. And I am guessing that “not knowing” feels scary and possibly leads to procrastination. To this I want to say that it is OK not to know where it is going to lead you!!! Just focus on the very next step, and then the next step after that. Once you;ve taken those steps you will see more of where it is leading you! Hope this helps.
