Can I finish my MSc Psychology dissertation (10k-12k words) in 3 weeks?
Hi,
I am so stressed and anxious about completing my dissertation because I'm an international student and so much depends on this. I have all my interviews done and I like my topic but everytime I sit down to do it I end up procrastinating probably because of the fear of not doing it perfectly. Is it possible to get it done in 3 weeks? I also want to get a good grade and I have no idea why I have pushed it so far even though I told myself I would get it done earlier.

Ignore the above comment lol.
You can definitely get it done if you manage your time. If you wake up and work 9-5 ish its more than doable. Break it down into sections (intro, method, results etc), and spend a segment of time on each section, leaving time to go over it at the end. I wrote my diss (which albeit was less words) in around a week, so definitely doable if you work hard and dedicate time to it.

Thank you sm for your response! I'm definitely going to try and do it 9-5 everyday, do you have tips for when you're trying to write and end up feeling so anxious that you're not sure what to write anymore. I feel like I sit for hours each day but end up having barely any words on paper and it is so frustrating.

the best thing to do is plan, so maybe spend the first hour of the day figuring out what needs to be done. pick a section, write down what needs to go in that section, and then write it (harder than it sounds of course). maybe even make a master list of EVERYTHING that you need to include, and work on little bits at a time, even if it isnt in order.

Hi,
I completely understand how overwhelming it feels, especially when perfectionism and pressure creep in. Start by breaking the dissertation into smaller, manageable tasks and focus on daily progress rather than perfection. With a clear plan and consistent effort, it’s possible to finish in three weeks
