Advice from Eric Jul

First and formost:

Work on getting a PhD

Second:

What is the problem?

If someone asks you what problem you are trying to solve, you should be able to answer in one sentence.

You need to be doing something which you have motivation for: you need to care to be able to complete.

Focus:

• | | writing a thesis
• / * / \ middle of the phd
• \ /
• \ /
• | | beginning of the phd

Know your title

Draw a small box, then write your title (up to 25 words). You can change your title at any time, until your thesis. Explain why you are changing your title.

Helps you to focus on what you are doing, and helps stimulate discussion. Finally, it will get down to about 6 words.
