       does anyone have any advice on not getting sucked into a research hole so deep that you don't have enough time to actually write your coursework?I never know how/when to stop reading about a topic to the point where it's detrimental to the work that I (eventually) output

       @ratking 1) Accept that you will NEVER be able to read, or even find, everything on a topic.2) Come up with some idea of what a "good enough" knowledge of the topic might look like. Obviously, this is going to take some research! (Danger! Danger!) You might have to revise this, but it gives you a framework to start with.3) Stop when things are feeling familiar. You've already read something like this before. That's enough for now.--continued--
