That seems like a bizarre bit of reasoning. When I go grocery shopping, the important part is that it gets done, but that doesn't mean I want to be stuck in the store for five years. At a certain point the cost/benefit ratio becomes insane, not just from a financial point of view but academically as well.
- peterkelly 11y agoIt sounds bizarre as a starting point, but several years in having still not completed, I decided to adopt this attitude as a way of avoiding the immense stress about the thing taking so long. Forgetting about the timeframe and focusing on doing whatever it took (and persisting as long as necessary) is what got me through. Completing was important enough to me that I wasn't going to give up.
