I cannot believe how useful to-do lists are. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I write myself a little numbered list and all of a sudden there is order!

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice I just started mine & I’m so on & off about it! Hopefully I’ll know for sure by the time I’m done 😅

[Jen @JenAyoade]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Nope! So grateful to be doing my own research about something that I’m really passionate about. I wouldn’t want to change that 😊

@HaPhDsupervisor It went really well, thanks! It was very informal & now I’m even more excited about starting 🙌🏾

[Jen @JenAyoade]

Really looking forward to meeting my supervisor for the first time in person today! ☺️ #phdchat #phdlife #AcademicTwitter

[Jen @JenAyoade]

@RockYourPhD Yes - officially starting next week & thank you! :)

[Jen @JenAyoade]

@LizvanWessem @PhDVoice @Midlands4Cities That’s a lot! Thanks for the heads up

[Jen @JenAyoade]

To current and graduated #PhD students: how would you recommend spending the summer before starting a PhD? 🤔
@PhDVoice #phdchat #AcademicChatter

[Jen @JenAyoade]

@JenKGarland Yep. I’ve been working and will likely continue full-time work until I start as well

[Jen @JenAyoade]

Thanks for all the great advice here! Lots of useful and practical suggestions ☺️

[Jen @JenAyoade]

@LizvanWessem @PhDVoice Thanks!! I didn’t know about the accountability for funding (although it makes sense). I’ll need to sort out my organisational systems as well
