It's not procrastinating, it's self-care

[Happy Researchers @hapyresearchers]

In academia, it is common to tell PhD students that you will get a nice job/paper if you work A LITTLE LONGER. But, we all know it doesn't work like that.

Working long hrs is not good for your physical & mental well-being. Take regular breaks & priorities your MentalHealth.

[The PhD Place @ThePhDPlace]

Your PhD is a job. It’s work experience.

[Neil Renic @NC_Renic]

Academia is mostly apologising for the late reply

[Kritika Prakash @kritipraks]

Doing a PhD is a huge investment in yourself. You'll know if it's for you. The pursuit of knowledge and the ability to contribute to a field make you powerful.

Don't let anyone put that spark out.
