【Technology046】Master Thesis
Barack
——Work with a mood that today is the last day.

On 1st December, I submitted the first version of my master thesis to the professor. I haven’t finished it, although I begin to work on it from 1st November.

The reply was bad. She said that “Have you used some tools to translate English to Chinese? I read to page No.25, and I cannot continue. I understand you may have a tight schedule but you need to give a qualified one.”

I promise that I will submit a second version to her on 9th December. I plan to write 50 pages for the body part, but I just finish 45 pages.

I try to find out why I cannot give a good result when I have spent one month on the task.

1. No plan. I don’t schedule the task for every day so that I feel the time is enough and don’t make substantial progress on every day. There may over 15 days when I don’t write one page. It’s horrible.
2. No record. The master thesis is not to do something new, but a summary of what I have done during my master studying career. In June this year, I read 10 papers about the combination of IoT and Blockchain. But I cannot find any records I made at that time.
3. Fears. When I want to work on my thesis, the idea will come to my mind that the task is large and the time is enough, so do something easy. Then I turn to offline games or online novels. They are time-consuming.

In summary, if I want to avoid such a terrible situation, I need to overcome my laziness. I shouldn’t hold that idea that time is enough. I should always hold an opinion that I should finish all the work today so that I can do my best and don’t want to waste a minute on meaningless attainment.
