I am doing research on how to research.

Knowing when to stop is probably the most important thing in research for me. It can be extremely difficult to just let it go and finish the paper when you're plagued by perfectionism (which, imo, is pretty common in academia).

Came for the research advice, left wanting to sew a Dachshund hoodie:)

I really like the software XMind for organizing the evolution of researching a topic in a graphically pleasant format. It works by central ideas that branch out in a tree like structure that you can further add subjects and notes to. Highly recommend, there's a free and paid version and the free is enough tbh.

Hi Andy, this is another brilliant video from yourself and the first I'll be sharing with friends outside of my academic bubble as it's useful for anyone. Would you ever think about making more content about learning outside of the PhD/university context? I think you'd be brilliant at them.

[osmani]

Thank you Sir, very useful information.
