For a student, a thesis has been a frightening specter since the first semester or when they become a new student. The stereotype of a complex and extensively revised thesis makes students afraid to start, especially when it is associated with thesis defense alongside examiners and a bunch of confusing questions.
Sometimes, this fear makes students unsure of where to start and embarrassed to consult with their supervisor. This slows down the progress of students' theses or even causes them to come to a halt for a long time.
This is normal. Having fear and feeling the urge to escape from it to protect oneself is also normal. However, if it persists and causes a student's motivation to complete the thesis to disappear, then it becomes a problem.
Who would have thought that a thesis is not that difficult? Many alumni and students who have completed their defense say that a thesis is not difficult if worked on diligently and seriously. The rest is diligently consulting with the advisor and increasing reading materials.
However, aside from that, there are also some secret tricks to finish the thesis quickly!
First, find a place where you can fully focus. Some people like to sit in cafes and listen to music to concentrate. You can mimic this method when working on your thesis to be more relaxed and less stressed. Nowadays, there are many cafes with comfortable atmospheres and fast Wi-Fi that greatly support students in studying there. Besides cafes, you can also find places where you can focus, such as inside your room, behind the house, or even by the edge of a paddy field.
Second, set aside some time to visit the library. This may sound trivial and useless. Why visit the library when books can now be accessed online? Nevertheless, regularly visiting the library can significantly increase our study motivation. This is because people in the library come to study or read, and we will also be influenced by their habits, especially with the calm atmosphere and many books that can be used as references for our theses. It's quite fascinating, isn't it?
Third, create study groups to exchange ideas about a problem. If you don't know about a certain issue, what will you do? Search for the answers on Google or Twitter? That's not wrong, but it would be even better if you create a study group to exchange ideas and discuss current issues or problems. You can form study groups with your close friends so that you don't feel awkward during discussions. Besides being enjoyable, creating a study group will also provide benefits as a data source for your thesis.
Fourth and lastly, occasionally reward yourself for the hard work you've put in up to this point. It is true that the thesis is just one point among many in the diorama of your life, but it won't be a problem if you buy some of your dream items when you reach a certain chapter as a form of appreciation for your own efforts. Aside from boosting motivation to continue the struggle until the final stage, this method will also uplift your mood throughout the day and keep you away from the stress and depression often experienced by students when working on their theses.
Those were some special tips and secret tricks for you to finish your thesis quickly. Use your time wisely, there's no need to rush. You can find your favorite place to work on your thesis with focus and tranquility, then regularly visit the library to increase motivation and find thesis references. You can also create a discussion group with friends to explore or dissect current issues, and finally, you can buy your favorite items or food when you reach a certain chapter as a form of self-appreciation for your efforts.
Indeed, a thesis can still be a challenge for students, but with perseverance and high motivation, it will only feel like writing a regular research article. So, never give up!
