How to complete your PhD

Academic Productivity ยป How to complete your PhD (or any large project): Hard and soft deadlines, and the Martini Method

Maybe this will work. I’ve been meaning to tell my supervisor to give me deadlines for work. There was a short time when I had to produce something weekly, and I got loads done then, but it’s all pretty wishy-washy at the moment.

Also, Parkinson’s Law is very true – I’ve known this for some time, although I never knew it had a name. And Hofstadter’s Law is true as well, even if you do take into account Hofstadter’s Law.

Update: another way to get stuff done is to not have an attention-seeking cat.
