Your thesis is likely to be the longest document you ever write
You might be witing in a second language
Youmight be witing while stil doing research
You migth have so much to say you don’t know where to start

Problems with "just writing”

Detail matters
It trains you to avoid problems
It doesn’t help develop skill
The more you just write, the harder it is to edit
It tells you nothing ahout how to edit

The fundamental problem:

ldeas aren’t stored in your head in a logical order, it’s more of a tangled mess of interconnected ideas and insights.(更像是一团错综复杂、相互连接的理念和洞察.)
If you just write without thought, the text on the page will also be a tangled mess. There will be no overall structure and individual ideas won’t be properly developed.

What I’d like to present…

A way of taking the tangled mess of ideas in your head and putting them in order(怎么理清思路)
A way of approaching the writing process that helps you solve problems and develop skills

Mindset:

It’s not about showing how much you know, how much you’ve
done or how much you’ve read, it’s about selection from your
knowledge in order to communicate effectively
It’s not about what you think the examiner might want to see, its
about what you want to communicate

结构的原理

Instead of just writing in the order we think of ideas（思考顺序）, we can think in terms of a narrative structure（叙事结构）, where a piece of research is a response to a problem, question or need

Structure:

First, describe a situation（描述情形）
Next, descibe a problem or question that arises from that situation（提出问题）
Now describe how others have responded to that problem or question（其他人的方法）
Explain need to approach it in a different way or expand upon what’s been done（解释需要以不同的方式处理它或扩展已经完成的工作
）
Say what you aim to do…

Literature reviews example(文献综述部分)

Problem: How do we define/ measure x?
One author proposes a solution. This then has some effect; the idea gains infuence/ sparks a debate/ is widely adopted…
But maybe there’s a problem or limitation
So others respond by developing atematives

How do we define/ measure x?

There are 3 main ways this is approached. The first, and perhaps most widely used, was proposed by…
Although his approach is effective in … it has the disadvantage that.
In response to ths…

The process

Reduce the scale of the task
Focus on one section at a time (or, for practice, write short, standalone pieces with a specific focus)
Separate exploration from presentation
If the goal is to get ideas on the page for you to work with, you can do that without writing in a formal, linear structure
Exploration : create a mindmap

The more difficulty a ask, the more attention itequires
If a task is beyond your current ablilty, it requires;

Your complete attention
Patience and persistence (stay with the problem)

But you might need to step back, relax, think and re-engage

Absolute number 1 most important tip:

When you step back, don’t go online, don’t pick up your phone!
When stressed or tired, we tend to revert to habitual behaviour

Useful apps (activate these before witing!):

Freedom
Cold Turkey

But what about perfectionism?
There’s a lot of space between absolute perfectionism and total
carelessness.

时间充足的情况下，完美主义也很重要，但不是边写边删的优柔寡断，有一个范围需要度量，可以通过设置DDL让自己不要过度关注每一个单词。
什么时候速度优先，什么时候完美优先，提前把握。

Some things will be easier to write about than others.
Your pace will naturally vary as you engage with and solve problems. Don’t put pressure on yourself to maintain the same pace all the time!

It feels good to solve problems as they arise.
Ultimately, this is how you improve your writing skills and develop confidence.(解决问题会带来自信)
