Write your PhD with more clarity, one chapter at a time

These downloadable planners break your thesis into manageable chunks, with space to brainstorm, reflect, plan, and track progress on each chapter. Use one, or grab the bundle and work through them all at your own pace.

Writing a thesis can feel like wandering through fog with no map.

You’re not lazy or disorganised - the process is just massive, and no one ever shows you how to manage it.

I’m Dr Elizabeth Yardley, and after 20 years of guiding PhD students through messy drafts and mental overload, I created these simple planners to help you:

• Tame the chaos of each chapter

• Make a plan you can actually follow

• Feel calmer, clearer, and more in control

Here’s how it works:

1. Download the planner pack for the chapter you’re working on.

2. Choose a planner to get started with.

3. Start filling it in and moving forward again!

“Having a structure to plan each chapter made such a difference — I didn’t realise how stuck I was until I got it out of my head and onto paper.” (Nia, Sociology PhD student)
