Your main task in writing the dissertation is to write the dissertation. This means you should focus on drafting new writing first before spending time in editing or revising. It can be helpful to allow yourself to write freely, without self criticism or self censorship, knowing that your writing will go through several revisions before it takes final shape. If you’re not sure whether to include an idea or concept, always err on the side that more is fine- it’s easier to cut out than add in. The only caveat to this approach is to make sure your writing is focused on the main themes of your chapter- writing which leads the reader off on all tangents is not that useful. As much as you can, make sure your writing is reflecting the main theme or primary core of your dissertation. The faster you draft, the faster you finish.
