I have many ideas for research projects yet how do I narrow my focus, and make something happen with projects?

Focus in on the aspect that can make somebody some money - then you will find someone to fund you.  After you get rolling, you can focus on other aspects.\nOtherwise, advanced degrees and being a professor and all that like you talked about in your other question is the way to go... it'll take time but it is a viable way to do it.\nAnd, of course, if the projects require more time and effort than actual funding, you can just work and do them on the side.  If you have the passion to do this, everything you need will come.

1) Find a topic that really interests you\n2) Research to locate unresolved issues\n3) Decide on your thesis design\n4) Locate key references and make connections to others in the field\n5) Write a short synopsis\n6) Test the proposal with you promoter & committee\n\nGood luck.

You can't usually sit down and write a program straight away. You have ideas, break the whole project down into managable pieces and solve each problem at a time. Then you can put it all together at the end. You develop new ideas along the way.

Find new things, groups, experiences etc... to occupy your time.  I love change.  I get very antsy and bored quickly.  I constantly change my activities and interests in order to compensate for this.  Constantly find new projects, groups for your kids, write a book.  Whatever interests you.  Only you can determine what will make you happy.  Maybe a new degree and a career change.  Explore your interests!

Come up with a general thesis, like "Evil exists because of humans" or something like that. Then find your sources. Write a long paragraph based on the information from each source that pertains to that thesis. Then, put the paragraphs from each source in some sort of order, based on how they flow the best. Then, in between each paragraph, fill in with more paragraphs that combine ideas with one another, so that they flow. If you used, say, 6 sources, you should have about 6 pages by now. Then, read through and fill in points and embellish the ideas that are already there. Voila... 12 pages. Make sure you take snack and rest breaks every 2 hours or so. Good luck!

You answered your own question:\n\n"What you feel you must do to accompolish them"\n\nYou must have a plan to make them a reality.\n\nIf it is a longterm goal, you MUST break it into a bunch of shorterm goals, and reward yourself for reaching each of them.\n\nAlways remember that as soon as you stop setting goals, you no longer have a reason to accomplish anything, and in most cases you will not. So keep setting them and achieving them.

Start small, else you'll get overwhelmed.\nBrainstorm. Write a list of regular tasks and another list of \ngoals.\n\nOn a blank calendar, write your regular tasks as they are due:  daily, weekly, or monthly.  Make sure they follow a realistic schedule, one you can really follow.\n\nTake your goal list and pick one.  Brainstorm again and list things you'd have to do to accomplish this goal.  Give it a due date and put it on your calendar.  Pick maybe 2 more goals, for a total of 3. \n\nSee how your calendar system works for you, and adjust as needed.  Try yahoo calendar for daily reminders of things to do - it works great!  Checking my yahoo calendar at work is a motivation for me, because it's like discovering something new each day!

Build it around a key goal - a company you want to open, question you want to answer, something you want to change in the world. Invent it if you have to, but make sure it is something you can be passionable about. Also make sure it is consistent with current fads in the field, and challenging yet realistic. \n\nThen, explain how your previous studies and work both drove you to this idea and helped you to come closer to realizing it. Finally, say how education at said school will further help realize it.\n\nMake a draft, spell check, show to as many university professors as you can, get feedback, revise, repeat 3 times.

Work. And as you work, and work hard, visualize for at least 10 minutes every day the END RESULT of what you want with as much feeling and detail, have faith it is a DONE deal...meaning not something that WILL happen, but something that has ALREADY happend, and try to have a feeling of expectancy about the issue of your desire. If you don't know what to work at or visualize, got to the alpha state (CDs you can listen to are available or you can dowload MP3 files to help you get to that state), and ask yourself what would the best profitable business idea for you to venture into be. keep at it for at least 10 days if you don't get immediate results, and most likely you will get your answer as a flash of insight or in a dream...but needless to say, you will get an answer as long as you have faith in the process.

heres what i do, group ideas together, and if possible make a word out of it... like milc N Cookie Treats (the bones of the foot are the first 4 and the capitols) also group things together into a rememberable pattern, like find a relationship between numbers, or make a story out of it... and lastly i also will try to visualize things, and remeber it a different way from the words, like back o the previouse example, il remember what a foot looks like, then fill in hte answers from that...\n       and ive made deans list 7 out of 8 semesters, i hope this works for you, \nGL )

The most important thing is a good "Research Question".\n\nPick a topic you like or need (if the research have to be done oriented to any especific subject).\n\nAfter having a general topic/subject, ask yourself some things about that topic.  Think what are the known things about you topic, what are the unknown things about it.\n\nThen, pick some questions on your subject and ask yourself "Why is it important to get an answer for that questions?"  Answering that kind of questions will reinforce the need of answers and that's what justify the research topic.\n\nA good research topic is usually unknown or not deeply known, although there are some known topics with unknown details or unfinished research (partially researched topics).\n-----------------\n\nThere are several publications on "Research methodology" that can help you on the research subject picking process and the research process.  See link below.\n-----------------\n"Developing the research proposal"  (2nd link) shows some interesting info on research.

I suggest u to follow the following strategy:\n1. Go through the contents of ur subjects studied during ur course of studies. There must be some topics of interest for u. Mark them.\n2. Gradually narrow down the choices, each time thinking more deeply.\n3. When u r left with three to five topics, go on to Internet and search for the latest trends going on in that area.\n4. Do not always think of doing something new (Works already done may also be enhanced).\n5. Keep in mind the requirements and limitations of ur country/ area in ur field.\n6. Ultimately u will be able to "pin point" ur project topic.\n7. As a suggestion from my side go for "Communication devices", TRY.  GOOD LUCK
