PHD Writeup

Hi,
I'm currently writing up my PHD. It's tough going. Anybody who's been through it got any tips/words of wisdom to speed the whole thing up or improve the thesis?

Red Alert

Get the crowd who aren't writing up to buy you lots of coffee

Best of luck with it!

I just submitted mine today I found it difficult at time to get down to the writing, but when I was in the mood I got lots done. I suppose it was the same as when I was doing the work for my thesis, periods of loads of work and periods of not so much.

Also I found the first draft the most difficult to do, just getting the stuff down on paper. After this there was still loads to do but it was easier to see what to add, leave out, expand etc.

A lot of people in my office also find that setting goals and targets help. Some of us have targets for different reasons, some because funding is running low, me because I am starting a job on Monday. That is a great motivator

Good luck anyway

Congrats cruiserweight!
