Advice for meeting PhD deadlines
Never knew that time management can be an issue, until now when I am most definitely unable to meet my deadlines. My poor capabilities have led to:
1. A pissed supervisor. He is so pissed at me right now, where he is sure I can never complete my thesis in time.
2. A room of tensions. I cannot organise my work and there is too much to do, which is simply piling up.
3. Sleepless nights. Not that I try, but all those research-related-tensions have left me with insomnia. It’s so bad now that I can’t concentrate on my work.
I am in serious need of some help and advice with which I can complete my work on time and meet deadlines.

What you lack here is planning, majorly so. I suggest that you maintain a schedule for that, like a time table, where you allot a minimum of 2 hours to your research. The following blog will give you some great tips regarding that. Hope you’ll find it useful.

Procrastination is the only reason for not meeting the deadlines and the best way to stop stalling is ‘motivation’ and ‘determination’. In my case, I was too lazy to do anything and only started doing something when I was on verge of meeting a deadline. You can imagine how it must have meant. I joined the ‘art of living course’ just for the sake of going out and I must say that it did wonders for me. I actually feel motivated and active to do my job now, you know. So be a little active, go for exercises, or start some creative course. That’ll keep you at your best. It’s important to do other activities as well.
