Treat the dissertation as a part-time job.

Treat the dissertation as a part-time job: work on it and then leave it to go on to other tasks or activities. When you are working on the project, work on it, and when you’re not, go out and do other things. Two hours of focused achievement is always better than 4, 6, or 8 hours of so-so or no achievement.
