Advice from a fellow Ph.D. and long manuscript writer: make a list of the various parts of the thesis, the number of hours you guess they will take to complete and a little check box. :>} Make the pieces small; no part with a time exceeding maybe 2-4 hours. Check them off as you do them-you already have one to check off! Otherwise, you end up like a marathon runner saying to himself, "well, only 25 miles to go..." It takes a lot of chocolate to write a thesis...

Bassman, wise advise. very wise. It takes a lot of tea to write a thesis also. It's okay, though. I think Zeugma is writing mine for me :D

Exactly! And then when I do a "4 hour" task in 2 hours, I feel all encouraged and keep going..
