Writing a thesis paper for bachelor degree

First off, don't panic. You have plenty of time left.
Secondly, if you feel you don't have enough to say about the topic then you havnt done enough reading on it yet. Go explore the literature and dig really deep into the topic.

Iktf breh, I did basically nothing for 2 months, then wrote 40pages in one month and basically did all the research in that time. It was horrible. Those 2 months I couldn't focus on what I was doing for 5 minutes, in the last month my focus was often laser sharp because I felt the gun at the back of my head. If I knew the solution I'd tell you, but I haven't gotten wiser from that and countless similar experiences

Thank you both anons. Apart from the strictly technical aspect of the work (reading more will surely help), I was wondering if it will be worth to "simulate" conditions to push me. I mean, is it possible and useful to set up something that istinctively makes me think that spending, like, 20 minutes doing nothing but trying to come up with an idea is better than spending those 20 minutes doing something else? Or something that deceives my brain in thinking that what I have to do is more urgent than it actually is? And if so, any ideas of what could it be? Maybe asking others to put some constrictions? (example: I live with my parents and my mother usually prepares lunch and dinner: should I instruct her not to do anything until I finish some kind of daily task? That is, in general, setting up a work schedule with punishments for not respecting it).
Any experience with something like that?

I'm the second anon, I once bought ritalin in order to be able to focus, but even the ritalin didn't make me give a shit until I felt the deadline coming.

I did the best work when I jumped right into writing a paper. Most ideas and questions arise when you're writing, so by writing an etymology, or kind of introduction to your topic you can't go wrong

I'm a programmer and I know the feeling of being lost especially at the start of a project which is large in scope. What helps me is what people call the Pomodoro Technique. Set a timer, how much time you set will end up depending on you and how you work but generally I suggest starting around 30 minutes, if you feel like you're racing the clock set more time if you end up procrastinating set less. In those 30 minutes complete one task. Obviously this task needs to be small so maybe it can be writing just a short paragraph on some aspect of the topic of your paper, or if you're still in the research phase reading about one particular aspect of what you're going to be writing about. After that 30 minutes, take a break, stretch, go outside and have a breath of fresh air, make some tea, whatever, generally the first break should be short, 5-10 minutes and increase slightly with each 30 minute task you complete. The key is that you should never be sitting down thinking "I'm going to be writing a 40 page thesis!" setting a timer forces you to limit your scope to something manageable, you don't need to know exactly when in the paper something is going to be said to have a rough idea of how you're going to say it. And when you have put a few things on paper maybe a task could be to place those ideas relative to each other and suddenly you have the startings of a structure.

Will surely try that, thank you

Get a microcassette tape recorder. Go away from all distractions. If you have some key notes, that will help you getting to think about your chosen topic, bring them. Now for a day or tow, spend time just thinking about it. When you get a new idea, record it. Bring pen and paper, if you need them for your thought process. Think. Get unconventional crazy ideas. Explore them. What if. Explore. And record your thoughts. After a few days of doing this, take one day off. Then listen to the tape, and type it out. Print it. Next day, start working with restructuring those thoughts and ideas you came up with. Good luck.

I'm actually writing the last large paper I need to graduate with my first bachelors.

I'm sitting in a coffee shop writing it because I'm so distracted - obviously I'm on 4chan.

I'm going to give this method a shot.
