Hello!
I'm new to this forum and wish I'd realised it was here much sooner. I'm in my 6th year of a part time PhD which I've been doing via distance learning and am struggling to write my thesis mainly due to lack of motivation. My supervisors have suggested finding a writing group to provide accountability but as I've just moved to a new area, I'm not sure where to start with this. There is no university for miles so am not sure where to find other people out there who feel the same. I've tried googling etc to no avail. There is no local Mumsnet group as that is where I was looking to place something when I found this forum.
My bigger problem is that I seem to fritter away every day doing god knows what. It's been easy to find excuses with a house move and renovations and other challenges but I absolutely must finish this and get a job! I know that when I work side by side with others, I get much more done just by feeling that I'm in a work environment. I've tried working in cafes, local libraries (so noisy!), can't afford to pay for a desk and a local business hub. Any ideas out there?
