Abstract

This article presents my critical reflections of my doctoral journey from its initial pre-application period through to its completion. The article demonstrates that I gained extensive professional, practical, and theoretical knowledge and experience, which benefits me in all facets of my life. The themes of my reflective piece are the requirements to be proactive and organized. While I could have approached aspects of my study in a more effective and efficient manner, which are discussed throughout this paper, both my personal and professional situations combined with my time management skills enabled me to complete all the requirements to earn my doctorate ahead of the required completion time. This reflection may help potential doctoral or higher-education by thesis candidates on their journeys.

Keywords: Research, Thesis, Reflection, Development, Proactive
