 IMPORTANCE OF
ARCHITECTURAL THESIS WRITING
a. PLAN A SCHEDULE
Pick your deadlines for each phase of writing the
Thesis and stick to those Deadlines. Compare your thesis
Calendar with the Deadlines the University Architectural
Design 10 Thesis Moderator is imposing and Plan
accordingly.
b. GIVE YOURSELF AMPLE TIME TO THINK
Find a place where you can be productive in your
Research and Writing. If you need some movement, a
COFFEE SHOP and a LAPTOP LOUNGE might right for you but
with DISCIPLINE. If you need silence, then the LIBRARY is
where you WRITE and REFLECT.
c. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Figure out when you’re Most Productive at a certain
Period in a DAY. If you're a MORNING PERSON, Doing
Research and Writing might suit you best at SUNRISE.
d. TAKE BREAK ONE AT A TIME
SLEEP WELL during NIGHTIME and during Breaktime in
the MORNING and AFTERNOON but bare in mind do all these
breaks with Dicipline.
e. ALWAYS CONSULT with your THESIS ADVISER
Your THESIS ADVISER is NOT your co-Thesis Presentor
nor a Housemate in your Thesis Camp....! Your THESIS
ADVISER is a person who has seen and experienced the
pitfalls of unforeseen time and topic issues that arise
throughout the course of your thesis writing process.

- is the PRACTICE OF CARRYING OUT LESS URGENT ONES,
or DOING MORE PLEASURABLE THINGS IN PLACE OF LESS
PLEASURABLE ONES, and thus putting off impending tasks to a
later time, sometimes to the "LAST MINUTE" before the deadline.
BAD EFFECTS OF PROCASTINATION:
1. May result in Stress, a Sense of Guilt and Crisis, and Severe
Loss of Personal Productivity
2. Crisis on SOCIAL DISAPPROVAL for not meeting
responsibilities or commitments for yourself and for
others.
