Beth Eyre - Five things I wish I had known about writing up my PhD thesis

Beth Eyre narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Beth reflects on her experience of writing up her PhD thesis and shares five key insights she wishes she had known beforehand. She emphasises the challenges of the writing process, including moments of self-doubt and the need to establish a suitable writing routine. Beth highlights the importance of setting realistic expectations as writing often takes longer than anticipated. She also talks to the importance of the distinction between writing and editing, urging you to view their thesis as an evolving process. Lastly, she encourages aspiring writers to prioritise completion over perfection, reminding you that a good thesis is one that is finished.
