  • get more written in two hours a day than in eight
  • dealing with writer's block and procrastination
  • not obsessing over the quality of writing
  • not letting distractions get in the way of your writing
  • not thinking your writing or research is good enough
  • working well with your supervisor to improve your writing
  • actually finishing your research on the date you set
