One of the most frustrating things about writing a dissertation, at least as you near the end of the first full draft, is the realization that what you have written in later chapters will require you to revise the arguments you put forward in earlier chapters.
I have an ever increasing file titled "Notes for editing early chapters" that I think I've actually been writing more in than the current chapter.
The good news is, all those notes will actually strengthen the rather weak arguments that I first wrote, but it's a difficult balancing act between just trying to finish a first draft, and getting distracted by all the things that I'll now need to change in the earlier chapters.
