As you enter your final year and your expected thesis submission date gets closer, regular writing becomes even more important. Research students who make a routine out of writing find it helps them to concentrate on their work and that this helps them feel more comfortable putting their thoughts into words. Most research students find that in their final year they need to spend at least some time each day writing their thesis in order to complete it on time and many find that keeping "office hours" for their thesis is a good way of making sure they focus on their writing.
