Lots of tasks to do per day. The remaining tasks of a day keep getting added to the next day. Overwhelming backlog of tasks. This induces anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Have to manage time and effort. Hate it when people say work smarter not harder. Either way doesn't work out well for me. Would've been better if a day was 30 hours long, instead of 24.

Expectations: Regular check‐ins with committee for updates and to be reeled in just in case I've gone over the deep end, the writing/editing process is never over until you defend (but sometimes not really)

Anxiety: That nothing I write will be good enough so what's the point

I feel the best way that works for me is to keep going on and working on it everyday.

How to start and keep the inertia. How to organize different chapters into a single (narrative).

I am not sure how writing a thesis is different from just putting your published work together.

Should it be written in a way that general audience will understand it?

I feel I haven't done enough as I planned when I started my PhD.

Right now my work is dependent on another colleague and not having full control stresses me about the timeline.

My committees and advisors need to be satisfied

I generally know the departments expectations for the thesis from the guidelines in the department handbook. I’m just worried about how best to structure the thesis in the limited time I have before my defense!

# data[].attributes.body
knowledge: it’s very hard and people crack over the process and stress.

Anxiety:

Getting started is VERY HARD. I don’t know why just sitting down and writting or talking about the defense date is paralyzing

# data[].attributes.body
I’m expected to be an expert in the subject I’m working on and also related subjects. I’m worried that i wont know everything that I need to know by the time I graduate.

From what I've seen from seniors in my lab, writing a thesis requires to stop all else for a while so you can focus solely on writing and editing the manuscript. But also that there is a head start by using published manuscript

# data[].attributes.body
Expectations feel like i have put in alot of hours of reading and experimenting. I am anxious that i might have to extend the degree in order to defend my thesis.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t know that much- I want to learn how to narrate my work
