Set up regular meetings with your supervisors, attend seminars, workshops, etc Set daily, weekly, and monthly goals. Break down any project into smaller pieces is always a good tactic when things seem unmanageable. Instead of writing an entire thesis, focus on the goal of writing a chapter, section, or outline. Instead of implementing a large system, break off pieces and implement one module at a time. Critical Skills and Comments Participate in forums to present your work and ideas.
Many fields have informal workshops that are ideal for presenting work in progress.
Attend conferences and talk about your research. Polish your critical skills, which are helpful both in understanding other people's work and in evaluating your own. Build a network of people who will be your colleagues for years to come. If you give useful feedback, those people will be more likely to make an effort to do the same for you. High-level comments describing your overall impression of the paper, making suggestions for organization, presentation and alternative approaches to try, potential extensions, and relevant references are generally the most useful and the hardest to give.
