And then I found you. Thank you so much!

I'm working hours but it's going slow and my frustration is growing I'm no where near finished and the deadline is closing in.... I don't know what I'm doing wrong 😔

[@alex0315]

Same tips don't work for everyone. You have different set of distractions compared to others as well as what things you like to do in that time. You have to find what works for you and forces you to stay grounded.
My tips would be....keep your study table and the room as clean and neat as possible. If there're things everywhere you acknowledge their presence everytime you look at them. The main focus should be towards your table and keep your phone away from the table when you work.

[@Di59001]

[@laurenpinschannels]

@@imanf1700 there's cool shit in papers and as a particularly avid science fan I get to confirmation bias myself into thinking I know more stuff. also my research friends love me for knowing their fields' news better than they do sometimes (because I'm not busy understanding at an actual graduate level and can focus more on finding and filtering).

[@JaxApocalypse]

I love your videos!!
I’m in the third year of my PhD, and as a robotics researcher, I find doing a PhD is the best opportunity to Polish my skills and produce a novel way of critical thinking to tackle future industry opportunities. as I meet the industry individuals and I’m surprised that people who are already working in the industry haven’t even thought nothing like us! Therefore, a lot of money to be made from your research if you constructively utilise your research skills.
My kind advice is never to give up🛑 on your PhD !! Always think you’re doing something great for mankind 😎
Ps : Ignore the grammatical errors, no time to proofread
