I have been lucky enough to be able to change from part-time to full-time study as of today! I have already been doing my PhD for 18 months, but would like a few tips on planning/organising my time. I have been so used to studying only a couple of days a week that now I don't quite know how to make the best use of all this time I now have. I would love to hear how anyone else has dealt with a similar situation. Thanks!

I have been writing my thesis (on sports history) since January last year, part time (I work four days a week). I now have an interview at the university at which I am already registered for a studentship. This would allow me to finally leave my job and go full time in the Autumn. The reason I am posting on here is that the interview needs to include a 10 minute presentation on my thesis. Does anyone els have experience of this? I only ever gave one presentation as an undergrad so I am somewhat nervous!!
