3. Don't look at the literature too soon

The first thing that most graduate students do is they rush to the literature
to see if someone else had this idea already. However, my advice is to wait
a bit before you look at the literature. Eventually you should do a thorough
literature review, of course, but I think that you will do much better if you
work on your idea for a few weeks before doing a systematic literature
search.

There are several reasons for delay.

First, you need the practice of developing a model. Even if you end up
reproducing exactly something that is in the literature already you will
have learned a lot by doing it---and you can feel awfully good about
yourself for developing a publishable idea! (Even if you didn't get to
publish it yourself : : : )

Second, you might come up with a different approach than is found in the

shaped too much by their views---you are much more likely to be original
if you plunge right in and try to develop your own insights.

Third, your ideas need time to incubate, so you want to start modeling as
early as possible. When you read what others have done their ideas can
interact with yours and, hopefully, produce something new and interesting.
