Frequently asked questions

How do you stop dissertation procrastination?
Commit to a daily minimum word count (even 200 words) rather than waiting for inspiration. Start with the chapter you find easiest, not the introduction. The literature review, methodology and conclusion can all be written before the analysis is finalised. A submitted first draft — however rough — is infinitely more valuable than a perfect plan.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print as many copies as you need.
