It’s a bit of a kick up the arse to compile an actual top 10 tips on how to write a thesis. Not a successful one mind, as I don’t know for certain how good it was, but basically how to write something that ruins your life for a long period of time, or at the least how to cope with the worst few weeks of your life. As it’s only truly awful for a few weeks; I’d say a total of it being awful half the time, so in my case just over 10 weeks.
These are in no particular order as it definitely depends on who is writing as to which will most apply to you.
I hope that helps you lot. :)
Also, you will get fat. :p

- Build up a support system.
- Make your figures early.
- Plan different places to write.
- Plan procrastination.
- Write when there are no major sporting events.
- Reading is not writing.
- Try your best to make your supervisor read everything more than once.
- (This may be more a Manchester thing but) Aim to have your thesis finished by the six week submission notice.
- Do your corrections immediately.
- Try and keep deadlines.
I hope that helps you lot. :)
