I've seen a slew of articles recently about getting re-started after the motivational dip of the holidays, some of which I've posted on the Graduate School Reading Room facebook group . Other favourites include this thesiswhisperer blog post . If you need a whole book to help you re-start your motivational motor, David Allen's classic guide to Getting Things Done is available in the Library both in hard copy and as an e-book (available on campus). Various techniques, such as the Pomodoro Technique and the Autofocus system seem to work for a lot of people. Or if you need some peer support to help you get started on a productive 2011 you could come along to the Thesis Forum in the Library on Tuesday 25th January to discuss motivation and the thesis-writing process. Whatever method, or combination of methods, you use to get writing, here's hoping you all have a productive and successful 2011!
