I remember when I first was about to start my literature review, it did seem very daunting at first but if you just take it one step at a time and focus on small sections it isn't too bad. What I did was subdivide the literature review into topics and then review a few articles/chapters in each section, breaking up the chapter using subheadings. Looking at other theses to see how they structured their lit reviews really helped too.
You seem to have made really good progress with the rest of your PhD so try not to worry too much over the lit review - I know from experience that when I'm like this it's really hard to get writing. Just try to make a start and I'm sure that the words will soon start to build and you'll then feel more confident in your writing. :-)
This is a really good idea! I used to read loads before I started my PhD but now I too can't face any more reading at the end of the day. Will defo have to give audiobooks a try, thanks for the info! :-)
