And my daily routine:
I wake up at 5 am.
Get to the gym at 5:30 am.
While working out, I listen to a science podcast for 1h.
Have breakfast and respond to emails at 7:30 am.
Reach to my lab at 8 am.
Work until 6 pm.
Have a dinner at 7 pm.
Read research reviews for 60 mins.
Read a book for another 60 mins.
Write down the work plan for the next day.
9 pm: I’m in bed, thrilled to start another super-day in 8 hours.
▫️
Sounds perfect, right?
Except that this is not real. It’s NOT about me.
▫️
In real life:
- I can get sick of office work
- I can get sick of writing grants, papers, reports
- I can get sick of working in a lab (hell, yes!)
- I can get too tired for a gym
▫️
My life as a scientist is not about productivity.
It’s about creativity and fulfillment.
Such a daily routine can quickly exhaust us, mentally and physically.
▫️
As a student, postdoc or faculty:
Do NOT feel guilty when you get sick of your lab duties.
Do NOT feel ashamed of your slow writing process.
Do NOT get upset by your mental and physical fatigue.
▫️
Your strength is in your personality and curiosity. Not a productive daily routine.

Extremely delighted to share my first ever first-author paper on the unusual growth behavior of #paracetamol#crystals post breakage 🎉
Such a common molecule, yet so unique! Can't wait to explore further 🔬
West Godavari district to Lahore to Kailas Manasarovar (as a spy) and back to WG Dt. What a life! How come we don't know more about such remarkable people?
