Writing the First Draft: The No-Nonsense Guide for Authors
I go to a quiet room, office, library or coffee shop.
Depending on where I am, I brew/order a cup of coffee.
I disconnect my computer from the internet.
I put my phone in airplane mode.
I open up Scrivener.
I arrange the outline for the chapter in question.
I set a timer for 30 minutes.
I write, keep my fingers moving and avoid stopping to edit myself (this is harder than it sounds).
When the buzzer sounds, I stand up and take a two-minute break.
After this break, I review my outline and notes.

25 Things About Writing
by Justin McLachlan http://www.justinmclachlan.com/1670/25-things-writing/
also in: http://pin.it/HwXSc4n
Real writing is actually a lot of rewriting.
Your friends won’t be as impressed the second time around. Don’t let it stop you.
Grammar, punctuation, spelling — it’s okay if all these things come last.
First drafts universally suck.
Avoid the advice of those who tell you otherwise of #5.
Trying to edit while writing is like trying to chop down a tree while you’re climbing it
Writing can be lonely. Very, very lonely.
Inspiration will never strike when you need it to. Just write. Do the work.
Complex construction doesn’t equal complex though. Simplify.
Deadlines. Goals. Set them, and stick to them.

engage in citation tracing : you will need to find the key references across the literature for your particular project
map whether your literature review has reached concept saturation : have you exhausted the field for the specific topic you are working on
need to lay out how different citations, bodies of work and key concepts relate to each other
