It's hardly shocking that, with just a few weeks remaining before the thesis' due date, you still haven't written a single word. You've finally decided to put your personal life on hold in order to devote yourself fully to writing your thesis. Although you may have to alter your eating habits and sleep schedule, it is possible to keep your personal life and thesis writing in harmony. 

Plan a new course of action.

It's common for PhD students to fall behind or miss their self-imposed deadlines. Constantly weighed down by commitments, they have no option but to limit time for rest and recreation. Priorities should inform how you adjust your timetable. Your timetable is fluid and subject to change as your priorities shift, so you shouldn't regard it as if it were set in stone. That's why it's important to make weekly adjustments to your timetable. 

Avoid prioritizing online communication.

Earning a doctorate degree is no easy feat, requiring extensive study, lab work, writing, and defense of a thesis. Focus entirely on your dissertation for your doctorate. The most significant drain on one's time and vitality is digital communication. You are prioritizing other duties over answering emails and messages on social media if you do so first thing in the morning. Because other people will react to you at the same time if they are online at the same time, this will waste more of your time than you realize. You need to use your brain. You should focus on writing your thesis first thing in the morning, and then check your email in the afternoon when you have some spare time.

Organize your work in stages.

PhD students often struggle with indecision on where to begin their research and writing. They procrastinate on lengthy tasks until the deadline draws near, at which point they scramble to get everything done at the expense of quality. If you want to prevent this, talk to your superiors about how you can divide up large projects into manageable chunks so that you can stay on track. 

Set some objectives.

It's important to plan for each day. Make a goal for the day's conclusion and plan accordingly. Make a priority list of everything you want to get done today. Start the day with the hardest things you need to get done, then work your way down to the simpler ones. Motivated job performance is more likely if the day's most challenging tasks are finished by lunch. This method will help you stay healthy and productive while still completing your daily tasks on time. 

Don't try to do too much at once.

The ability to juggle many priorities at once may be in high demand these days, but it also makes you a master of none. The mind is constantly moving between things while you are multitasking. This prevents you from giving your whole attention to your task, lowering productivity and quality. But if you need to concentrate on two things at once, set a brief timer for each one so that you may give your whole attention to one at a time. You may, for instance, be a freelance manager for a corporation whose duties include coordinating the questions of other employees through Hangouts. Choose a certain time range, like 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., during which you will be accessible to answer their questions. This will allow you to devote your whole attention to inquiry resolutions, and leave the rest of the time for thesis writing.
