Every chapter of your thesis, mapped onto a single page.

I asked 250 PhD examiners how they'd structure a thesis if they were starting again. Their answers fit on a single page. Download it free — and stop staring at a blank document wondering where to begin.

You keep coming back. There's a reason for that.

PhDs never, ever, ever go to plan.

You’ll make mistakes all the time. You’ll realise six months down the road that you messed something up, or went down the wrong path.

But don’t be so harsh on yourself.

You’re human, and humans make mistakes.

Show yourself loving kindness, and see the mistakes as part of your ongoing development as a scholar and PhD student.

Good luck.
