In this article, we reflect on the process and procedures that we embraced 
when completing our doctorates.  In the quest for academic excellence, we 
examine the role of organization, current technology, collaboration among 
graduate students, and options in traveling and scheduling.  With the 
intention of providing pragmatic information for those still in the midst 
of their research and writing, we also share what we wished we had known 
prior to the experience.
