Thesis Masterplan

Today I was again reminded about my thesis masterplan. It has been told to me even at the start of my PhD journey that a masterplan of my thesis is something that I should always have in front of me.

I think it does a big help actually when I have it with me. The masterplan will guide me of where to put each and every work that I do into its proper section within the thesis. Without it, I will have a big trouble navigating myself back to the bigger work that I have two do and accomplish at the end of my candidature.

Sometimes it is so discouraging when the supervisor tell me to do something which are 'not related' to my work. But on the contrary, they usually tell us of what to do so that it could be writen somewhere in the thesis. So, everytime I have something done, I should always relate it to my masterplan thesis.

Yes, we do get things changing everytime, but at least when I started with some simple structure of my thesis, this shabby looking draft masterplan is easier to be converted into a much more matured thesis than to convert from a total blank page.

From now on I will look at my thesis masterplan more often, and keep track of my work accordingly.

Yousuf was so excited in reading his new book.
