Journal - Week 0

I am trying to finalise my project proposal this week which I’m finding hard. I have to have figured out my entire project objectives and methodology and everything before I even start. Generally when I do essays for university I start vaguely, and then as I gather more information I determine what I want to focus on. I cannot decide what needs to be questioned before I have researched whether it has been questioned already!

I am also finding it hard to judge whether my project is too ambitious. I guess the whole thing seems daunting at this point because I haven’t even started so there’s so much I have to do. Once I clearly know what my project is I think I won’t be as worried. I think after 3 months of uni holidays I have forgotten how to write academically. Everything I write sounds wrong or doesn’t make sense; I’ll have to read my old text books so that I can get into a marketing headspace.
