PhD life – why it feels like you’re not making progress

Показать описание
Life as a PhD student can be hard! It often feels like you’re not making any progress. Why?
The constant reading, revising drafts, deciphering complex literature, and facing setbacks can make it seem like you’re stuck in the PhD mud while everyone else is moving forward. But what if that sense of stagnation is actually where the magic happens? In this video, we’ll explore why progress during your PhD often feels invisible and how to shift your mindset to recognise the subtle ways you’re advancing, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
I’ll unpack the misconceptions around progress (hint: it’s not just about word counts), the value of thinking time, and why revisions, hurdles, and pauses are integral to your journey. I’ll share some simple strategies to track your growth, celebrate your small wins, and embrace the non-linear nature of research.
Whether you're struggling with imposter syndrome, feeling stuck, or just need reassurance that you’re on the right path, I’ll offer you some practical advice and encouragement to keep going.
Ready to redefine what progress looks like and start seeing your PhD journey in a whole new way? Hit play now and let’s dive in!
