Some motivation to finish your thesis (send this to a friend who needs it)

Whether you are writing your bachelor's, master's or even your PhD thesis (or dissertation or capstone), we all sometimes get into a slump that we don't seem to be able to come out of alone. And because your friends are probably either in the same boat as you (or tired from coming up with motivational speeches), here are some motivational words from me to you to finish your thesis ❤

🌟 About A Life of Learning
My name is Jaël and I am a 21-year-old master student Educational Sciences from the Netherlands. My channel A Life of Learning focuses on self-development, planning and organization. Not in the "everything is perfect and I always have my life together" way, but in the real way. Getting organized is an ongoing struggle, but with some tips and support from each other I believe we will all manage 🥰

Feel you! 🫶🏻

[@albaroca5702]

I'm 15 days from the deadline, and even though it's almost done, I get unmotivated every time I open the document. It's really important for me to remember that this project is not me, but just something I'm doing and that perfection isn't the goal. Thank you for reminding me of this :)

[@ALifeofLearning]

Yes you are not your work! Your work is not even part of you, it’s just something you produce ☺️ Good luck with the last days, I am rooting for you!!

Guys, if you're busy and can't do it, just check my bio. I got something for you.

[@mariatsimara863]

I was watching this video a month before, when struggling to write my thesis. Today results announced and I passed! If I can do it, you can do it too 😊🎉

[@renevank]

For the past weeks I have been paralyzed by stress and haven't put anything on paper. I dreaded the weekly online meetings with my supervisor, every time trying to talk around the topic to hide the fact that I hadn't really made any progress. Yesterday I made a planning for the upcoming 3 weeks. Now all I have to do is just start. Thank you for making this video. Now it's time to get cracking.

[@ALifeofLearning]

Ahh yes that blank page staring at you is the worst!!! I am super happy you managed to make a planning. Bite sized pieces really is the trick to completing any project! Good luck and you can do it!! 🤩🤩

[@danielatrindade592]

Omg i am exactly in the same situation as you right now 😩

[@renevank]

@@Khsjsj Eventually I decided to change projects, so basically I'm redoing it. I'm currently 10 weeks in. I love my new graduation project, and my new supervisor is also very kind. I'm also now part of a bachelor graduation support group, and it really helps me to keep on track. Sometimes everything can seem very daunting and scary, but when you look back at it later, it doesn't seem as bad as it looked before.

[@souky110]

My thesis deadline is in 3 weeks and I'm only at the beginning of my thesis because of my mental health. But I have managed to do everything else up til now so I know I can do this too. Thank you for this video.

[@stonejo]

how did it go?

[@souky110]

@stonejo unfortunately I couldn't meet the deadline because of some other things suddenly happening in my life, but I managed to write like 75% of the thesis and my supervisor was very understanding. This video was still very helpful!

[@ginelleswan83]

my thesis is due tomorrow, and while i have some things written and most of my research done, i have about twenty more pages to go. Thank you for this because I really think I can pull it off.

[@RenaldoJeffHardy]

Did you?

[@littlejoelgriffo2]

Ayo! Mine is due in 2 days and I need 10 pages. How did you go?

[@yolz1211]

I'm really interested to know whether you made it okay..

[@easynow6599]

Finally a phd writing video with a real "i am almost on deadline and still have a ton of shit to do". Most of the videos, are like "i was keeping notes for the last 4 years..and now i have a year to write my thesis and blablabla"..so you video is a true relief and pass the main message: you HAVE to work..but the phd is not your whole life..is just another project..where mistakes are ok.

[@jessicachristiana8453]

Thank you! I'm 10 days away from my final deadline and I only have 30% of the paper done. I am frozen in place trying to work on this, but now I feel much better! Thank you for the kind words! I should probably get back to work! Hopefully I'll make it in time, not perfect, just done

[@jessicachristiana8453]

@@Khsjsj I started writing it four days before the deadline and I barely slept. It was a lot of procrastination even then but I already had most of my reading done and I just had to put it all together. I found that research takes more time than actually writing it. I finished it the night before it was due and I was lucky enough to have a coordinator who was willing to read it in the morning of the that same day I had to officially turn it in. If you really want to finish it you absolutely can! If you need caffeine or sugary drinks go for it, but also remember to sleep at least for a few hours every 24h and eat at least one meal a day. It is doable! You got this!

[@kimberlywills7219]

This is the perfect video for me right now! I haven‘t started working on my thesis yet because I‘ve just been paralyzed due to not feeling like it will be good enough and just generally being overwhelmed! I‘ll keep rewatching this video because it‘s exactly what I need when I feel unmotivated, so thank you!!:)

[@meriembalai4301]

Your words picked me up. I'm having 2 hours of sleep in the past 48hours and after this vid I decided that I won't make myself suffer and it's not needed to be perfect... Thank you

[@Evilian33]

Im watching this everyday. My thesis paralyzes me so bad. Your words are amazing, thank you!

[@Rhythmicons]

I'm suffering from a lot of self-imposed pressure because I imagine that the top scholars in the field (some of whom I know personally) may read it. As I'm working on what I think is a very important topic (we all overestimate that, don't we) I'm still finding myself sick of it and want so badly to move on. Thanks for the encouraging words!

[@veevee807]

Two weeks to go and a super unhelpful and rude supervisor who ghosts me for days. I truly needed this video!! Ive been putting this off for a year now… thank you, i can do this, thank you! guys please cross your fingers for me 🎉🎉 lets manifest success for everyone

[@samf.s.7731]

What's worse is that it's not because of laziness, it's because the institution is continuously making it difficult.

[@sanjeevanikulkarni3013]

Trueee

[@mementomolly2944]

Thank you! Been struggling for a year now. It's that bad. I'm going crazy about it & been feeling so stupid after years of excelling in college. Imagine, I was doing so great in college with high grades & this is the 1 thing that's been delaying me from earning that degree. Anyhow, thank you so much for this video! Appreciate it tons

[@ALifeofLearning]

Ah that sounds horrible but know you are not the only one struggling with this!!! Also, your ability to finish a thesis quickly says nothing about how smart you are or your value as a person. Every person has their own pace and it will be okay ❤️❤️ Go get that degree at your own time!!

[@vhh101]

it is so relatable. I've been stuck with my thesis for a year and this whole year was such a torture. I didn't expect it to be that hard after getting mostly very good grades

[@eliseta4232]

I recorded your video so that I can hear it often from my gallery. I have learning dissabilities and am spending plenty of tears in the thesis and feeling I'm not the only one helps a lot

[@idomeyoudoyou9102]

This was so sweet. I have to turn my thesis in in two weeks and I am about to go crazy because of my perfectionism. Now I can focus again on the big thing. Turning _something_ in. And I do have something. So everything is gonna be okay. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day, all of you! You got this :)

[@komalsaraiya1345]

I am 9 days away from my deadline and almost done with my thesis. But there is still some work left but I have no motivation left to even look at the document anymore. I am worried that when someone will read my thesis, they might think some things aren't that well done. But you reminded me that this is not my life's work and its just a thesis. This video and comments has made me feel a little better. Thank you!

[@sanyacompton5481]

Thank you! I tell myself these things often, but it was great to also hear it from someone else who knows exactly how it can be!

Aww thank you so much for this video! Last year I took a year off because my dissertation was taking too much of a toll on my mental health. Now I'm back again with a better mindset but somehow I still ended up with only 3 weeks to write 7000 more words. Can't wait to celebrate 🥳

[@moriahh73]

this was so useful and sweet. its the perfectionist thing (as you said) that is preventing me

[@kimberlywills7219]

Thank you! Your words are great reminders, and it made me do something very helpful: I looked at the rubric for how I will be scored. There are 4 "grades" (excellent, proficient, satisfactory, poor), in 6 areas. I need a minimum of "proficient" in 5 out of 6 areas! So, there it is in *writing* that I don't have to be perfect! Not one section has to be "excellent"! I have been striving for "excellent" in every assignment for the past 6 years and I feel exhausted. I can just strive for proficient right now. And like you said, if there's time, I can aim higher, but first reach "good enough", or actually first just, "omg, just make it complete even if it's crappy" and take it from there. lol!

[@luci-anneanson4067]

This video has caught me at the right moment!! I'm currently just over 2 weeks away from submitting mine and the chops and changes it has been through has really burnt me out😭😭Alongside my topic being a very ambiguous niche, my living situation has been HELL (silverfish, building vandalism, and most recently a mice infestation in my flat 🥲). I have also come to realise I don't study or work well when I'm back at home with my family. So I say this all to say I am a student feeling very much at rock bottom, but this video has given me the 🌟perspective🌟 I need to get through these last few weeks, thank you💜. I also want to encourage other final students... WE CAN DO IT!!💪

[@alexanderdegen8212]

My final deadline is in 1 week (on the 31.12.22) and this time it’s the last possibility to hand my bachelor’s thesis in definitely. I say that because I managed to delay / postpone / find reasons / excuses on missed deadlines for over 2 years. I started in September 2020, so yea it’s my 5th year for my bachelor degree 😅 Might be a new record? Even though I was continuously trying to work on it, I barely have 50% at this point and feel like it’s incoherent and lacking depth. I don’t wanna get up in the morning because I have anxiety attacks and my stomach starts becoming one big knot and had to cry this morning for one of the first times in my adult life facing my extreme frustration and desperation. Thank you for your positive attitude and sharing this video, I’m optimistic that it will get me going, knowing what you had to get through as well. All the best to everyone struggling these days and can’t properly enjoy Christmas because of this self-inflicted procrastination 🤦🏼‍♂️. Cheers, Alex
