As someone who is due to start a PhD in the summer, I’m so glad I found your TH-cam channel! Very well carried out videos full of useful information. Good job!

After watching this video I can say I’m interested in organizing my day differently by utilizing some of these suggestions. This was helpful. Thank you!

[@PhDandProductivity]

Yes! Let me know how it goes!

[@yifpye8895]

Use iPad to plan - time block planning
3:00 don’t switch between deep and shallow work - have separate time blocks for them
4:13 4hr deep work /day - rest for other tasks
4:40 difficult to stay off social media? Have 2hr time block where you can’t, and then have a short block when you can
5:01 3x 2hr blocks of work - can be rearranged to suit your day
6:44 use breaks during “no social media” blocks to go on walks, have coffee, etc.

I'm a 2nd year PhD student in computer science and I was desperate until I saw your vedios. Just watching it gives me a good motivation to organize my time and start a real work. I hope I can do that like you do and stick to a routine 🙏 . Again thank you very much for these very very useful and helpful vedios 💓

I started this experiment not so long ago. I noticed that when I do time blocking, I get more done that day without feeling overwhelmed. The days I do not time block feel overwhelming.

What do you use to record screen? Great video!

[@PhDandProductivity]

It’s screen recording built into the iPhone / iPad

Hi, this my first year as a PhD student and actually I have a part-time job wish takes me half of the day , so I have a big problem in organizing the time of studies, also I procrastinate too much I could not respect any plan I did for my day :( :( , I get so motivated when I see some videos like yours and I make plans for studying and... but O failed every time

[@PhDandProductivity]

I have a recent video on how I plan my week given that I now work around 20-30 hours per week on top of my PhD

[@csml4519]

I get demotivated when I cannot handwrite titles like that lmao Usually starts with trying to make a fancy title and continues for 10 minutes before I give up I hope you are doing well today!

[@PhDandProductivity]
