Dissertation Writing

I used Zotero for my reference managing and really found it useful and easy to use (plus it’s free!). The best advice that my peers gave me was to start early (like several months out from your intended defense) and write every day, even if it’s just a little bit. Making a habit of it definitely got me past the hesitation of sitting down and committing to writing.

Another piece of advice that I really took to heart is from Dan Harmon (writer for Community and Rick and Morty). To sum it up, he essentially says that people are bad at creating things, but great at criticizing. So when you’re writing, just write anything and everything then criticize it until it’s good!

I have also started writing a few bits and pieces. Does someone have any advice on best practices to follow that can make formatting easier later on (I have to write it in Words, unfortunately)?
