Been meaning to go back to the struggle for months. This time I’ll be more successful and actually get the degree. After that I don’t think I’ll need any grading for a long long time. Will just do my own thing and cherish not having exams. Maybe even turn my mind to money-making for a change.
How to get my PhD
How I did it: Started it right after I got my Master's degree, and it took me four years to finish it. Just presented my doctoral work last tuesday (june 16th), and the examiners really liked it. A lot of work, but it paid off in the end.
Now I'm a Ph.D. in physics! :)
(yea, yea, kinda like the big bang theory :P)
People doing this are also doing these things:

It’s almost to the point where I can get in there to do work. I have tomorrow off, and tonight when I get home, I’ll work about an hour, and it should be set for me to write tomorrow. I feel very motivated, and want to have the 2nd full draft to my chair by 12/15/2009! Also, it will then go out to my other committee members.

To finish, that office needs to be cleaned enough so I can get in there to work. I can start that tonight. My problem is that I get home and forget that I was going to do it! I get distracted by other things, and then another day goes by. Somehow, tonight, I need to remember. Once I get started, it will go quickly and could be cleaned within a couple of hours, well enough to do the work I need to do.

Instead of wasting time in front of the boob tube tonight, I’m going to work on my office so it will be a more supportive environment to finish. Declutter, clean, dust, organize, and so on—all necessary to get things in shape so I can FINISH!
