1, defining the research stage and tasks. The whole research process is divided into several stages, such as literature review, experiment/investigation, data analysis and thesis writing. Define the tasks and objectives of each stage and set the completion date. Ensure that each stage has a specific time node and is connected with each other.

2. Make a timetable. Assign specific time to each task according to the tasks and objectives of each stage. Consider the workload and difficulty of each task and reserve extra time for some key tasks. Integrate the timetable into the opening report and clearly mark the start and end time of each task.

3. Review and adjust the schedule. After completing the opening report, it is necessary to carefully review the progress of the plan to ensure its rationality and feasibility. If necessary, the plan can be adjusted appropriately according to the actual situation.
