Who it is for
A weekly planner for PhD students
PhD students use Cutline to make writing a daily block, protect long research sessions, and keep a record of the hours behind the thesis that supervisors and future employers can see.
The PhD problem
A thesis is years of work with few deadlines in between. Without structure, weeks disappear into reading and email, and writing waits for a free week that never comes.
A week that moves the thesis
- Write first, 60 to 90 minutes every weekday.
- Research in one long block after.
- Read daily, in a fixed slot.
- Supervisor meeting at a fixed time.
The PhD Student template lays it out.
