“Going for a walk” is what has got me through life and education since GCSEs

Great advice ! Even applies to someone not doing a PHD. Thank you for sharing.

This video came at the right time… I'm currently a fourth year PhD candidate and very behind with working in my dissertation because I don't have good time management strategies. I love what you said about starting with an early win and then building upon that throughout the day. Thank you for this insightful video!

This was really useful and you are really good at explaining it. Thank you.

Great video, it highlights a great point in communicating Ph.D.'s daily worries. I do find it sometimes difficult to respond to people every time someone asks me how many years left do I have in my candidature. But as you've mentioned, reframing my reaction on it helps, along with other points you've mentioned such as self care, routine, etc. ^_^
