''Problem:'' You want to give advice on procrastinating on a thesis. You're thinking "How to procrastinate on a thesis" might be a good title.
:''A good start:'' Think about your topic in the general sense. You are talking about two things: the practice of [[procrastinating]] and the topic "[[thesis]]." Start/edit an article with either name, and include what you want to write in a well-named section, even if it is a lonely section at first.
:''In the future:'' Others are likely to have something to say about "Procrastinating" or "Thesis". The articles are likely to cross-link. Over time, what you started will evolve into a rich article. ''Problem:'' You want to write about great spots to hang hammocks on campus. :''A good start:'' "Hammocking" is probably the most general name you could pick, but are Willipedians likely to write about anything more than "Hammocking" is the most general title, but is there something meaningful to write on "hammocking" besids where to do it? This is arguable. Start/edit "hammocking" with a section on places, or start/edit "hammock spots". Someone can always create "hammocking" and link to/move your content later.
