A free guide: fourteen pages, ten minutes.

A free PDF that takes about ten minutes to read. It explains three problems you may know if you work and study, what the four questions give you, what your notes show after three months and after six, and how to start.

• Three problems you may know. You cannot say what you learned this week. You have to start a thesis and have no real examples. In a job interview you can name your job title, but not what you learned. These are not because you did not work hard. They happen because nothing was written down.
• Thinking you check later. You write what you expect before a decision. Later you check it against what really happened. This is the part of the degree only you can do.
• What you have after three months, and after six. What your notes show you, and what you can use them for.
• The five habits, and where you are now. One line on each, what each one asks of you, and one page on coursework and the thesis year.
• How to start. The first four weeks, the minimum for a bad month, and five short rules.
• Where to start. Apply for a founding place. If you prefer paper, the four questions come free by email.
