Lately, my conversations with students and early-career researchers keep circling back to one colossal challenge: the thesis or dissertation. It’s more than a project; for many, it feels like an immense mental and emotional barrier.
The obstacles vary—crippling writer's block, fleeting motivation, the nagging voice of imposter syndrome, or simply wrestling a mountain of ideas into a clear structure. I understand how isolating and overwhelming this process can be, particularly when you're navigating it without a strong support system.
That’s why I’m turning to this community. For those who have been through it:
What was the most difficult part of your dissertation journey, and what was your key to overcoming it?
We’d love to hear your insights—whether a crucial mindset shift, a game-changing writing strategy, a life-saving routine, or simply something you wish you’d known from day one.
I’m looking forward to reading your stories and learning from your collective wisdom
