Too Much Information

Hi All. Gladys Again back for week #3!

I am going to address the topic of "What was most challenging in selecting a research topic for this assignment?"  And oh boy is this a loaded question.  There is one thing that I know about myself, well actually there are many things I know about myself, and that is that I always pic topics that mean something to me in my life but that means that I will from time to time go to deep in to my topic.

This topic in specific regarding how technology is helping to drive social change in the acceptance of women in the work place and their up rise to be strong leaders is extremely personal to me.  I will begin to research something specific that supports the overall message of what I am trying to communicate to my reader, but I will click on a link to read a related topic and six hours later I am reading out different political movements and have to remember what I am writing about, and what is in scope and what is not.

I have to continually remind myself of the message that I am trying to communicate.  I do this through keeping a piece of paper with my outline, topic and thesis statement always right next to me.  This way when I take a breather from reading the reminder is always present and available to me and reminds me more often than not to get back on track.

I have always had to do this type of method to keep myself successful because once I start researching a topic I want to know everything about it.  But, there is always time for reading, epically after a time when it wont deviate from my end goal when writing a paper.

Till Next Week,
Meg
