Thesis Rush

Thesis writing is a huge undertaking that requires time, planning, and hard work. It is one of the most difficult academic writing tasks, and it often comes at the end of a doctoral degree.

Thesis writing is also the type of work that is prone to procrastination. The good news is that there are several strategies to overcome this challenge. Some of these tips are practical, such as scheduling short, daily writing periods and establishing a comfortable, functional space to write. Other suggestions focus on developing a more positive mindset and understanding that procrastination is normal and everyone struggles at times.

In order to build a strong thesis, it is important to choose the right topic. It should be interesting to you, but it should also be a topic that is likely to attract interest from others. It is better to choose a broad topic that can be developed into several subtopics than to select a very narrow and specific topic. The latter will be harder to discuss and may not be well received by your readers.

A strong thesis will have a clear position on the issue and will provide justifications (the "why," sometimes referred to as implications), and/or a method/framework (the "how"). It is also a good idea to choose a topic that has already been addressed in some way. This will make it easier to build upon previous research and conclusions, rather than starting from scratch.
