Hello all and thanks so much for your replies!
Eska, I usually wake up at 7 am and directly start working. In fact, as DrJeckyll said, I stay in pyjamas and turn on the laptop in order to work, but I waste my time on the internet :-). What about you?
Thanks Clementine, it’s a great idea but, unfortunetly, there is no similar thing in the city where I live.
DrJeckyll, you exactly described my situation. The closest library to my home is one hour away. However, your advices for working at home are great. I’ll try to follow them tomorrow and write the result here. I'm using to sit on the sofa with the laptop on my lap all the day. I have a study room but I feel :-( when I enter it. It seems that I'm too kind with myself.
Hello all,
Since I'm doing Law PhD thesis, I don't need to work at the library. However, I'm not living in the same city of my University and need more than three hours to get there. So I'm working at home.:-( Every day I wake up almost at the same time, I sit alone in the same place, I hardly have my breakfast.... etc. This situation depressed me a lot. I don't know how to control my time. My productivity is very low. Is there anyone in the same situation?

Of course you shouldn't tell her. I appreciate your friend. I'm 31 and when I'll complete my program I'll be 32. Sometimes I feel that I'l old to start an academic career. But when I remember that my friends are still in master or in the first steps of PhD, I feel that I still have time. However, my PhD thesis has taken too long time because I'm married and have to take care of my demanding husband.
Hey Pikirkool,
Thank you so much for your advice, I'll follow it. I have the general plan. I'll start reading the conclusions of the cases quickly and make a detailed plan for each paragraph. It'll take 3-4 days. Then move on the write each paragraph alone.
Hello all,
I'm totally lost. I want to start a new part in my thesis (around 50 pages). I have the general plan of this part because I wrote a similar one. I have 207 cases to read. Of course some of them are alike but I have to read all of them because I might miss an important point in one of them. However, do you advice me to read the conclusions of these cases, make a detailed plan and define which cases I have to write about then start to write each section. Or I start reading and writing directly, in the sense where I find a point in any case that helps me I write it and explain the case, in the end I would have drafts for all sections. Then I move to read each one and organise the points. Hope I managed to explain my problem :-(
