I am now doc candidate with some conference presentations on my CV, but I am not able to get my conference work to publication stage. I really want to publish as a lead author, but I feel that I have no energy left. How do I recover? How do I become the CEO of my work and just produce and disseminate work?

His knowledge level is very poor. However, demand of high impact papers are always bothering me. Considering his zero (or negative, saying demotivating words, non technical lectures some time goes upto 3 to 4 hours) help it is getting very difficult to finalize any topic also. He has no specific field, so it is going no where. I am feeling to leave it. Any way thanks for your good suggestion.
