Abstract
This chapter focuses on two important actions for your dissertation: planning your dissertation and negotiating it with your supervisor. The planning includes the right time to start your dissertation and setting up milestones. While negotiating includes communicating and convincing your supervisor to agree with your plan.
Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.
—W. Clement Stone
