How to Write Your Dissertation with a Full-Time Job (Realistic Plan)

40-hour job + PhD? It’s possible. Here’s the exact schedule.

Weekdays: 2 Hours/Night

  • 6–7 PM: Read + matrix
  • 7–8 PM: Write 300 words

Weekends: 6-Hour Blocks

  • Sat 9–12: Deep writing
  • Sat 2–5: Edit + sources

Outsource Smart with SpeedyPaper

Chapter draft due? Send to SpeedyPaper — you revise on weekend.

“SpeedyPaper wrote Chapter 3. I kept my job and sanity.” – Tom, DBA Candidate

Use “Micro-Goals”

Bad: “Write chapter”
Good: “Summarize 3 papers tonight”

Protect 1 Day Off

Sunday = no work, no dissertation. Recharge.
