Thesis/Dissertation/Essay summer accountability group!

[tostaky]

Really struggling to finish my doctoral thesis… perhaps others also need a bit of hand held?

Doing IPA. Submitted a draft result section in May and got good feedback- stupidly decided to re-jiggle everything and now im feeling very stuck and like nothing makes any sense anymore…
Need to rewrite my intro and lit search sections
Need to write my discussion and my conclusion

i would like to submit a final draft early September - come and join me!!

Hi all,

May I join? I am about to submit my ethics approval form for my dissertation. I know I'm terrible for procrastinating and I'm a little scared of sabotaging myself.

Do any of you deliberately study at uni or outside of the home? I have a little office with a desk for it is freezing at the moment. I sit downatairs to work but then end up doing housework or cooking etc. I am too easily distracted.

Any tips for productivity greatly appreciated!

Wishing everyone the best of luck.

Join away

I dont go into uni as it's 1.5h train each way and all the f2f elements of the course are long finished. Tend to write in the study and edit sat on lounge floor lol

We have a bunch of ND drs that we often body double for essay writing or exam revision, that helps a lot

I'm currently on a motivational spur to submit for 26th Jan

V v random tip but read it online n it actually works (no idea why) so thought I'd share...when essay writing, switch the font to comic sans n it becomes easier to write (the explanation was the font looks like draft format and hence changes the way ur brain thinks about what you're writing lol

That is a great tip and one I'll try very shortly. I can kind of grasp why it would work as the font looks so informal 😁
