Setting up your life to write a PhD has a single goal: to ensure that PhD students have the support, preparation and context to succeed. Too often words and phrases like 'burnout' or 'writer's block' are used to mask a complexity of motivational, task or time management issues. But writing is difficult. Writing a PhD is even harder. Preparation is crucial. Planning is crucial. Context is crucial. This book intervenes in assumptions and emotions to create a framework for effective writing, but also concrete advice to build a doctorate, one sentence at a time.
