Jessie is formatting her document (again).
She thinks she is writing.
Jessie is wrong.
She is procrastinating.

This is Rover. Rover is Dave’s loyal companion. He sits beside Dave’s desk when Dave is writing.
Sometimes Dave talks to Rover and Rover seems interested.
Rover is just hoping Dave will say the word Walk.

When you're developing your research proposal it's wise to think about a Plan B. Things always go wrong in research. What will you do when things don't go to Plan A. Discuss with your supervisor. #PhDchat #PhDforum #postdoc #ECRchat

In research sometimes, often actually, there is no one right answer. Knowledge is contested. This can be difficult when you are searching for that one, indisputable answer that no-one can ever criticise. That's not the way research works. #PhDchat #ECRchat #PhDforum

Perendinate. Why just procrastinate when you can perendinate.
To put off until the day after tomorrow. #PhDforum #gradschool #emcrforum

Optimal stopping: At what point should you stop doing something?
For the perfectionist it means going to the bitter end.
But maybe you don't need to read every paper that's ever been written.

Multi-failing: Doing several things at the same time and doing them all less well. The reality is we're not very good at multi-tasking. Focus on one thing and do it properly. #PhDchat #ECRchat #Postdoc #PhDforum

If you're finding your #research or #writing hard this doesn't mean you are stupid. It could just be that it's hard. In fact it is hard. So hang in there. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #gradschool #PhDforum

Beware of scope creep. The temptation to add one more:
- chapter
- field trip
- experiment
- novel feature
- extra variable
The question is not:
Would one more make it better?
The question is:
Do I already have enough?

Secret 3: Be realistic
“The best is the enemy of the good”. Which in practice means that by striving for a perfect thesis you will find it very hard to finish any thesis. The best thesis is a finished thesis. From: buff.ly/32cMaBK

A good thesis is a finished thesis.
A great thesis is a published thesis.
A perfect thesis is neither.
Stop going round in perfectionistic circles and get it done.

Q: How do you know when a PhD is finished?
A: A PhD is never finished. There is always more you could do.
At some point you just have to hand it in.

The value of a supportive community can’t be overstated.
Thus, colleagues and I created the #PhDForum for early career scholars — a safe space to discuss early research ideas and share struggles.
I highly recommend such low-stakes formats to every department. It was super helpful.
