🎓 Simple Tips for Writing a Thesis 🎓

I'm nearing the end of my own Master's thesis and it's being an Absolute Trip tbh, so I decided to write a list of seven basic tips to hopefully prevent anyone else from going insane 🙃

1️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜: Pick a thesis topic that genuinely excites you! Choose something you're passionate about because you'll be spending a lot of time with it. Researching and writing about a subject that sparks your curiosity will keep you motivated throughout the journey.

2️⃣ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐨: Outline, outline, outline! Break down your thesis into manageable chunks and create a detailed plan. In general, the format for most dissertations is introduction, state of the state, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. This will be your roadmap, keeping you organized and focused during the writing process.

3️⃣ 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭: As much as you want to (or don't want to, as the case may be) tart with the body paragraphs first! It might seem counterintuitive, but fleshing out your main arguments will help you define a clear direction for your introduction and conclusion. If you're doing a STEM subject like me, then this will also help you define your null hypothesis in a way that makes the most sense when compared to the rest of the paper.

4️⃣ 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡: Don't shy away from revising your work. Embrace the process of refining your ideas, polishing your language, and strengthening your arguments. Remember, writing is rewriting and you don't always have to accept your own hypothesis! If your results tell you that your theory was wrong, embrace it! Those are still valid results.

5️⃣ 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐈𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Set realistic milestones and take breaks to avoid burnout. Your mental and physical well-being is vital to producing quality work. Reward yourself for each accomplishment, no matter how small! Personally, I prefer working on a single section for three hours, taking an hour's break, and then moving on to a different section for another three hours, no matter how incomplete the first section is. This stopped me from getting frustrated and burnt out when things just weren't going my way (and I guarantee you, things will not always go your way!)

6️⃣ 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜: Your introduction should be engaging and captivating. Hook your readers and clearly state the purpose and significance of your thesis. Make it compelling and please please please remember the immortal words of Ernest Hemingway: the first draft of everything is shit. So be brutal with yourself, kill your darlings, and cut out every single sentence that does not provide the reader with new information.

7️⃣ 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐬: Craft a powerful conclusion that ties everything together. Summarize your key findings, reflect on the broader implications of your work, and leave your readers with a lasting impression. Always remember that the final sentence in everything you write, thesis included, should be a drop mic moment. If you can't envision yourself walking off stage after your last line, then something's got to change.

Trust in your abilities and stay determined and self-disciplined. Writing a thesis is an incredible opportunity for personal growth and intellectual exploration (and ranting about your favourite niche topic for a few thousand words!) I believe in you! 💕

I actually started using a digital planner template in Goodnotes instead of trying to juggle a physical notebook, Notion, my calendar and whatever paper planner I happen to fancy for a week or two before I get bored. The plan is to just switch templates then so I won’t have to get rid of a whole physical thing/book. We shall see.

Calling all the pdh students!!

I need help from anyone currently doing their thesis or that has done it...how do you decide on a topic?

This feels like a silly question but I was given very incomplete and, in some aspects, completely wrong information about my final project and only now did I discover I have to do the thesis no matter what. However I don't really know how to go about deciding on a topic that's good enough for something this serious!

People keep telling me to work on something I'm passionate about but to be completely transparent my interests don't intertwine themselves with my area as weird as that might sound, so if anyone has any other help like where and how to find research gaps in different areas, how to understand if something might be considered relevant etc I'd be extremely grateful to hear it💫

That moment when you think you’ve got a month to write your dissertation but your supervisor just informed you that they’re on holidays the first two weeks of August which means you now only have two weeks to research, write, and submit an entire masters’ thesis 🙃

A mix of photos from the work I've been doing this week.

It's felt really weird to be going around towns and doing outdoor work, talking with different professionals, and generally doing work outside of a seminar room. However, it has been incredibly enjoyable!

Doing work outdoors and seeing the issues of collection management head on has really helped with writing a collection ls management strategy report as part of my placement. It has been so rewarding to be invited to different areas to develop my report on the management of public art by councils/museums/galleries. I hope what I submit to them next week will be worth the effort the professionals I have met with have put in for me to go to each location and meet with them!

On my last train now, retuning from location number 4 of this project.

Looking forward to a library session this evening to get more done!

today is my FINAL DAY! 22 hours remaining. I’m so giddy I can’t concentrate. gonna blast some music in my headphones and try to get it out of my system and get going. I’ve worked so hard on this, I’m so ready for it to be over. I’m having confidence in myself that I’ve done more than enough to secure a pass, and am trying to let go of the idea I could fail this. It feels more vulnerable; i’m used to trying to protect my ego by assuming the worst but i’m done with it - i’ve put in so much effort, learnt so much about my specific topic, and i’m proud of what i’ve done this past month. It’s over so soon and it’s time to move forward, and after a massive amount of sleep I can’t wait to soak up time with my family and start taking steps towards whatever could be next.
