Ada sent her draft to her supervisor on a Sunday night. She had read it ten times and thought it was clean. The reply came on Thursday with 41 comments. Three citations had no entry in the reference list. Her research question changed wording between Chapter 1 and Chapter 4. One paragraph in her discussion…
It’s 1am. You have twenty-something tabs open, all “related” to your topic, and no idea which ones you actually need. That’s not a research problem, it’s a filter problem. You’ve been asking “is this relevant to my topic?” when the real question is “does this help my argument?” Those are different questions, and only one…

“I don’t even know where to start.” If you’re wondering how to start your thesis when nothing feels clear yet, you’re already asking the right question.
