Today Nick Davis & Paul Musgrave tackle research anxiety in their newsletter on undergrad thesis writing

I thought these quotes were useful reminders for researchers of all ages

When confronting a problem, identify the next most concrete step and take it

Quote that read, The joint realization that what you’re doing is important and that what you’re doing is, in a sense, impossible, means that anything you do will be partial. Your aim isn't perfection or solidity--your aim is defensibility and honesty.

And that’s totally okay! That is, in fact, the best any of us can do.

Confronting and labeling this condition lets you think about how you can move past your anxieties. You won't overcome them in a single bound. Instead, you're going to want to think about what the next, most concrete step you can take is. And then take that one, and then another one. Pretty soon, you’ll find you’ve traveled pretty far.

Research is Harder Than You Think

Everyone finds research difficult. That's why it's worthwhile.

^{Nick Davis (Thesis Statement)}
