The daily investment of time is also crucial. Although he saw patients all day, Freud spent a couple of hours writing each night. In an academic world whose demands keep your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel, and your ear to the ground, it is difficult to climb that research ladder of success. Consider an old investment principle: Pay yourself first. Just as the first bite from a monthly paycheck should be invested in personal savings, the first (or some) part of each day should be earmarked for research. Remember, how you spend your days is how you spend your life.
