First Time Literature Review. Burning out.

Hi All,

I just started a masters program in logistics and supply chain management. My first paper, after a break of about five years, is a literature review on cross-culture and the US auto industry (my choice). Unfortunately, I am about half way through and experiencing massive burnout. Any helpful advice would be so deeply appreciated.

Literature reviews are like eating balsa wood while getting your fingernails ripped out. They suck. Fortunately they make up a small part of the actual work. If you're feeling burned out, take a break, do something else, then make a time to go back to the work and just power through it. It doesn't have to be genius. It's just gotta do the job. And in the end, you'll probably find the knowledge you gained was useful, even if the process was _lame_.

Or to put it another way: congratulations! By finding a literature review really tedious, you have just proven that you are a human being. Don't trust anyone who likes writing literature reviews. They are probably replicants.
