    Every day before going to the lab and doing measurements I treat myself to one of Andy's videos. I cannot start to tell how I optimized my workflow to go through thousands of papers with the apps and websites he suggested multiple videos. Moreover, the point he makes here is quite essential; not get burned out and enjoy it while doing it. I have been following Andy for a year now and can quite honestly say that if I complete my thesis/paper(M.Sc), a substantial percentage would be because of Andy. Cheers! 🍻

    I am a undergrad now and I REALLY enjoyed my research project. It is tired and sometimes annoying but I still love it. And that is why I decided to do grad school after. (Now I did most of the research work in the project while my PI wrote the paper. )

    I am just a month into my STEM PhD and I've been taken aback by how much encouragement I have needed in this process to know that I am not mucking up my first semester. This video is so useful and the channel is a godsend.

    I'm nowhere near starting my PhD, but one of my favourite things to do when I'm hanging around younger students is to give a lecture on whatever weird, higher level topic I've been learning about recently

    What has worked for me to avoid feeling overwhelmed is carrying a monthly calendar that has all the major events and obligations laid out, but each morning I fill out an index card with what I want to do that day. this gives me place to put down things I notice need doing at the time, like doing laundry, as well as a spot to put things that come up last minute.
    I use a binder clip to hold it inside my calendar. Each evening or morning depending on when I have time, I make a new note card that carries forward anything I didn’t get done the previous day and adds anything new that’s coming up. (so far I’ve been saving all the previous notecards in my desk drawer, as a visual reminder that I am accomplishing things!)
    at the bottom of my calendar I put down dates that are coming up for the future, at least a month out. that way I’m not overwhelmed with clutter but I also have an idea of what’s coming down the pike.
    I do use a Google calendar with reminders for regularly scheduled stuff as well.

    How to enjoy your phd: fine a good supervisor and group.
    How to hate your phd: stay with a bad supervisor.
    I wish I had advices before! I would run far away from my process!
