Exciting news! I now offer a 1-hour “Five Productivity Tools that Helped Me Finish My Dissertation” workshop to universities! If you’d like to learn more, visit katehenry.com/workshops.

I recently wrote an article for GradHacker about the top five practices that helped me to finish my dissertation on time. I’m sharing the opening to the article below, but I encourage you to read the full article here.
