MSc in 4 months??

[noideaoffuturenow]

I need a kick in the *ss. Almost finished a really tough 2 year professional course. It's been really challenging both at work (Clinical) and at home (4DC, 1SN; DH works ++hrs, lots of them away from home). I'm nearly there-I've passed everything so far. Last hurdle is my MSc. I've written my proposal, carried out some of the interviews and am stuck. HELP!! I need inspiration and a kick up the bum. Please tell me I have't left it too late....I'm supposed to submit in Sept. I do have a Supervisor but feel like I can't be totally honest about how much I haven't done-I'm ashamed TBH. Where do I start??

I assume you mean the dissertation component? If so now till September is a normal amount of time - though appreciate life is super busy. Sounds like you've started though. Just start writing - doesn't have to be in full sentences or eloquent. But get something down. Assume you've read the literature - done a lit review?

Do you mean your MSc dissertation? Four months should be plenty of time. Can you break it down into tasks and write a timetable? If you are totally stuck with even getting started on that because you feel overwhelmed, try the pomodoro method. Set a timer for 20 mins and just do what you can, then have a 10 minute break, and keep repeating for however long you have.

I assume it is just your dissertation left? I am an academic and would recommend the Academic phrasebank from Manchester uni. E.g. https://www.phrasebank.manchester.ac.uk/introducing-work/

Then pick an option from each of the groups and you have a good structure and makes it really easy to build it up. This is for the intro but there are others for conclusions, discussing findings etc.

Thx for quick replies! Yes-I did do my Lit review and I did do work on parts of it last year. But I had more imminent deadlines/exams that just took up all my time. So haven't looked back at it at all. I'm procrastinating I guess. So will absolutely try the Pomodoro method. Thanks so much!!
