If you're like most students, finding a research topic that's exciting and at the same time feasible, worthwhile and significant is not easy. Sometimes it takes months. And, by the time you've decided, you've lost the momentum.
Perhaps one way to overcome this is to think of an area of interest, look for related research and narrow down to one that is both exciting and worthwhile doing. However, please consider the feasibility of getting the research done. This means that you have sufficient resources, the time, the respondents and that most, if not all, requirements for your research is within your control.
In addition, consider the assumptions and limitations that you will need to state and acknowledge. After all, you're not trying to solve the world's problems. You simply need to investigate a specific problem and ensure that your findings are both reliable and valid and will contribute to the field.
