Secret 7: You can do it! A #PhD is 90% persistence and 10% intelligence. Of course you have to be clever. But that's not enough. You also have to persist. Hang in there. #7PhDSecrets #phdchat #ECRChat #postdoc
#7PhDSecrets Secret 6: Get help. It's OK to ask for help. In fact, the smart thing to do is to get help. Ask your supervisor. Ask in your department. Ask other students. Use the Library and Support services. Attend workshops. #PhDchat #PhDforum
#7PhDSecrets Secret 5: Treat it like a job.
If you know when to work, you know when to not work. This will help reduce the guilt.

#7PhDSecrets Secret 4: Say NO to distractions.
For 1 or 2 hours close the door, turn off the phone/email alerts and focus. You can get a lot done in short blocks of focused time. And very little done if you're constantly distracted. #PhDchat #PhDforum
