How To write a literature review
Stop drowning and start writing – in just five steps.
The 5-Step Reading Boundary Method is the strategy that I use to escape the "but I haven't read enough" spiral.
It’s a simple, clear process for when you’re:
- Drowning in a sea of literature
- Avoiding your project because there is just way too much to read
- Blocked from writing because you still haven’t read enough
Nothing too complicated, just a simple structure you can actually use.

– An easy, step-by-step explanation of the method
– Guidance on when to stop reading and start writing
– A realistic framework for managing your reading load
– Nothing to download, no files to track down – just a quick, clear email delivered straight to your inbox
Why It Works
The method balances the needs for understanding the breadth of a body of literature, while also engaging deeply with pieces that directly speak to your work.
The method uses intentional prioritization to craft a reading load that is realistic for an actual human brain.
It won’t replace critical thought and analysis – but it is a simple, practical strategy that can help you transition from reading to writing.
