There is tons of scientific evidence to support this idea, but somehow it’s much more reassuring to have anecdotal evidence from a colleague that it works!

I just finished writing my dissertation this summer. (What a great feeling!) I committed to myself to exercise at least 5 days a week through the process. It made a HUGE difference! Especially in the final push when I was literally doing nothing else but dissertation. My mind felt much more invigorated when I let my body work hard for a change.

Whoo! I love the shout out–it did make all the difference! In fact, I submitted the whole thing today, uploaded to TDL at 2:00 am and turned in the paperwork at noon…Whoo!! This blog really did support me through the worst of it (getting out that awful first draft), so THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I love this idea! I saw the movie and thought the same thing. You have thought of something that is both practical and radical – Good Luck.
