What's inside
I built this checklist from 10+ years of watching doctoral students get stuck in the same four places. This covers all of them.
A week-by-week template from where you are now to your defense date. Plug in your actual deadlines and see the path laid out clearly.
Every chapter broken into the specific deliverables your committee is actually looking for — so you stop guessing and start shipping drafts.
The 30-day countdown to your defense: what to submit when, how to prepare your presentation, and the questions most committees ask.
A simple template for your weekly check-ins: what you planned, what you did, what's blocked. Takes 5 minutes. Keeps you accountable.
"I had been ABD for three years. Dr. Wolfe gave me a structure I could actually follow. I defended six months later."
— Doctoral graduate, Walden University
