Hi AnnJolie,
this topic has been covered before. In short during the first year you should have:
-defined research questions
-a good grip of the literature (a good first draft at least)
- a well-defined methodology ( a good first draft)
-sorted out ethics approval
-contacted participants/ organised fieldwork
- a pilot study
In the second year you should:
- collect your data
-clear data,
-decide on your (statistical) analysis
-apply for a conference
This plan will allow you to analyse your data, write up the PhD and prepare some publications in the third year. Of course, every PhD is different.
Hope this helps.
