[PhDdays @PhDdays]

You will learn how a person become mad by doing #PhD from this account. I will tell you in three years step by step.

I am tired of short and part-time contract offers.
Don't they know that we need to have some certainties in our life to perform better. I am even okay with one year contract but not with 3 months part-time work.

It is too hard to concentrate when I am working on sth that I don't wanna work on. Having other issues in my mind makes it much harder.
I am just stuck and cannot write a paragraph 😔

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

Yesterday my neighbours were partying, so I could not sleep. Today, I cannot focus on my work and feeling exhausted, although I had three cups of coffee. I want to tell them come and work instead of as they didn't let me to sleep yesterday night.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Yes, just once close to the end of my PhD. I could not stop crying during a whole day. I was overwhelmed. After that day, I had a break.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

I do struggle to motivate myself to work in these days. I know this is because of repeating analyses (issues with the dataset) without having any reinforcement for a while, but still struggle to cope with it.
Knowing theory alone, doesn't help always in practice

@Ghada2018 The details of the paper:

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@Ghada2018 @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter There is a paper on the definition of pilot and feasibility studies.
If I am not mistaken feasibility is used as an overarching term whereas pilot is a miniature of the main study.
I will look at the paper's details and share if I find it.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

I like using R but sometimes it drives me crazy

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@Akustics Medical students get more reinforcement during their journey e.g. completing a module. They do not depend on a (group of) supervisor(s) for at least three years and not working on the same project for many years.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

My life in these days.
It drives me crazy.

@PostPhDRoad @PhDVoice @PhD_Genie @dissertology @career_re @PartoutProf @MasterAcademia_ @ThePhDPlace @thephdbreakdown @TheStrugglingS4 @phdhardtalk Congratulations 🥳🥳

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

If I don't want to work, it means there is sth I need to do but I don't know how to do. Not knowing causes procrastinating.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice I think second year was a bit easier since I was doing my fieldwork. The writing up bit was the hardest for me because of being anxious and tired constantly until that point of the PhD and also requiring much more work etc.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@LuZhang_ArtHist @PhDVoice For full time students depending on personal circumstances it could be asked for extension and also if I am not wrong you could ask for suspension.
The lady I mentioned was also UK based

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

Today, I was told that a lady did her PhD in 12 years. I wanted to say congratulations for not quitting her PhD during that 12 years. Four years even felt like a lifetime to me. I think she is amazing.
@PhDVoice

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@PostPhDRoad @PhDVoice It absolutely does.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@strucbybio This is annoying. Everyone has different circumstances. That person should learn that!

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

@GuerrillaScholr @PhDVoice Waw that's great, it is really inspiring.

[PhDdays @PhDdays]

Is being super excited and happy after producing a Sankey diagram or conducting an analysis like generating a survival tree in R a sign of being a nerd?
I think it is just a sign of loving what I do 🙃
