Dissertation Tip of the Week: This strategy helps overcome writer’s block by allowing a brain dump that captures what you are trying to say in a more natural, conversational flow by recording your thoughts that you can easily return to. #dissertationwriting #dissertationlife #dissertationcoach
I chair dissertations and coach doctoral students. Most don’t stall because they “can’t write.”
A doctorate isn’t about being the smartest in the room.
It’s about clarity and structure.
ABD? Stuck? Preparing for proposal or defense?
Happy to help.
DM open.

This is about personal productivity and mental clarity. You aren’t just writing an email. You are building a paper trail of your life that proves you are making progress, even when it doesn’t feel like it. #phdlife #dissertationlife #dissertation #dissertationcoach
Dissertation Tip of the Week: You will never be able to read every article out there regarding your research. Be comfortable with finding a set amount of articles and going with those. #phdlife #DissertationHelp #dissertationlife #dissertationcoach
DTOTW: It sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? By stopping in the middle of a task, you ensure that when you sit down next, you know exactly what to do first thereby avoiding procrastination. #phdlife #DissertationCoaching #dissertationlife
DTOTW: Use this strategy to identify flaws, gaps, or limitations in your research before your committee does. Instead of hoping no one notices a problem, you point it out first and explain why your work is still valid. #phdlife #DissertationCoaching #dissertationlife
Here are the time management traps to avoid while writing your dissertation. #dissertationcoaching #dissertationlife #dissertationhelp #phdlife
In dissertation writing, being "mindful of the scope" means clearly defining the boundaries of your research to ensure the project is both intellectually rigorous and practically achievable.
Think of the scope as a fence around your research. #dissertationlife #phdlife #dissertationhelp
Four-panel comic set outdoors in winter. Two adults wearing coats, scarves, and gloves stand outside holding cups of coffee and talking. Panel 1: One character says, “I’m telling you, he keeps a list of people he likes and dislikes…” Panel 2: The other character responds, “He’s got elves slaving away all year doing menial tasks for little or no pay…” Panel 3: The first character continues, “He always wears the same vest and he only shows up once a year.” Panel 4: The second character reacts with surprise and says, “Santa Claus is a professor!!” The first character replies, “Ho, Ho, Ho? It’s the null hypothesis!” The joke humorously compares Santa Claus to an academic, using traits associated with faculty work and research culture.
Adjunct professor by day.
Dissertation writer by night.
This is what academia will do to you in the final stretch — even Santa isn’t safe.

A Word file with a banner saying "we've made some fixes and improvements. To complete the process, the app needs to restart". Below: Part II: Theory.
Word, you don't rest till I do. #DissertationLife
I will finish this dissertation. Last week at a conference, I told the audience my secret weapon: I use Zapier to send myself a nasty little email every day reminding me to write. Yup—AI-generated sass, delivered daily, just to shame me into productivity. Whatever it takes, right? #DissertationLife

Highly recommend a desk cat 🙌. Great for moral support, terrible for productivity. Just look at all the rest I could be getting if my dissertation was done lol 😹. #cat #archeology #dissertationlife
Migrating social platforms while writing and defending my dissertation was a bit too much. But Dr. Chiles is ready to clock in and grow this community. What y’all been doing over here?

My methodologist blessed all my variables and so the massive data pull begins! #fullspeedahead #dissertationlife #ABD
The *best* part about this is having to ask myself why it matters that I finish my degree if all I'm going to get are NTT jobs teaching gen eds students mostly hate taking. While seeing that an incoming colleague who's also ABD got hired TT. #dissertationlife #phdabd #ContingentFaculty
Thinking @ how ridiculous it is that after teaching 4 classes, holding office hrs, grading homework, answering emails, setting up gradebooks, & filing papers academia just isn't done with me & I somehow have to work after work to be able to write. #AcademicSky #PhDABD #NTT #dissertationlife. 🙃
Keep growing, keep pushing forward, keep moving on... And, keep writing 👀 #dissertationlife
I haven't gotten any new followers (yet), but if you're interested I post a lot about #dissertationlife, progressive politics, & healthcare waste. You can check out my org @ cahcw.org @cahcw.bsky.social Feel free to reskeet!
Of course, I'm hearing about my chapters tomorrow (meeting with chair) to see if they're ready to go to committee again, so I will be busy with #dissertationlife again!
Question of the morning: Do I actually want to have a codebook and do deductive coding, or inductive as I'd previously thought? Email out to methodologist & meeting with chair in 19 minutes should help answer this. #dissertationlife
In today's news, revising is HARD. And so is getting myself to work on it. #dissertationlife
An in orange and black picture of sisyphus pushing a rock up a slope on which I have added white text reading “me” on sisyphus and “coding & analyzing these fucking visitor books” on the rock
brought to you by me coding visitor books from Nuclear Museum today:

-if Country X commits war crimes then that does not mean Country Y can commit war crimes against Country X
-puns on “explosion” & “blow up” are overused & inappropriate
-“INTERESTING” IS MEANINGLESS & DEAD!
A brownish-grey Weimaraner, positioned in the lower left hand portion of the frame, lays facing away with just her shoulders and top of her head pictured on the left of a lap desk, which holds an open laptop displaying a white screen with text and a large book splayed open infringing onto the lap desk that’s positioned in the right-hand corner of the frame.
Zoey was very insistent on helping me while I worked on my dissertation today. I hope she realizes that dissertations are solo pursuits so she can’t be second author. I’ll be sure to thank her in my acknowledgments though #AcademicSky #DissertationLife #PhdSky @phdvoice.bsky.social
