Thesis Residue

Writing a thesis is hard. If the act writing of a large body of independent research was not hard, the term ABD would not exist.

Thesis writing can be the time to sharpen writing attitudes and habits. The right attitudes and habits shape a successful career. More often, people create an attitude of fear and a habit of procrastination around creating large, meaningful deliverables.

Compared to the soon-to-be-out-of-date factual content of a thesis, writing attitudes and habits are a more valuable product of the thesis process.
