FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Why Aren't the Best & Brightest Contributing to Society?

Beltsville, MD October 25, 2004: Why aren't the best and brightest graduate students contributing more directly to society? Because they are stuck in school, trying to get their doctoral dissertations completed. Dr. Rachna D. Jain, licensed psychologist & dissertation coach is looking to change all that with the Fall 2004 release of her new title, “Get it Done Faster: Secrets of Dissertation Success” which offers effective, targeted information to write the dissertation in a year or less. Using the “Get it Done” (sm) process, which works for students in all disciplines, and on both quantitative and qualitative projects, graduate students now have a methodology and plan for getting the dissertation done.

“Graduate students who are ABD (All But Dissertation) have special needs and challenges related to finishing the dissertation,” Dr. Jain says. “The reason for this is that, very often, they've become caught in a cycle of unproductive work habits-“binge writing” and “binge avoidance.” More than anything, the dissertation or thesis is a measure of how well a student can research, synthesize, and write on a particular topic. Instead, graduate students usually tend to see this process as something more mysterious, more challenging, and more difficult than it truly is.”

The Get it Done (sm) process utilizes Jain's own SMART system for success. Using the SMART system, students learn how to get unstuck, take better care of their emotional, mental, and physical health, work around negative feelings, take consistent action, bounce back from criticism, and stay aware of time and task parameters as they work. Jain relates: “The number one problem I see is that students often feel they can muscle through the dissertation process on the force of sheer will. This doesn't work. Instead, students need a structured, measured system for working on the dissertation and getting it done once and for all.”

For students who are committed to finishing, and ready to take consistent and measured action, the Get it Done (sm) system offers a proven, workable, and well defined method from moving from ABD to PhD in a year or less.
