I have a friend who coaches all kinds of postgrads through their theses/treatises (masters all the way to postdoc) - the number one thing that keeps her in business is shitty supervisors and the soul crushing grind of academia. PhDs (and masters theses) are primarily about project management, with time, money and morale being the primary resources dealt with. Almost invariably, morale runs out first, and then time, because the work isn't being done. Managing morale is as important as managing your time and money, and supervisors almost never impart that skill.
