NORMAL WORK WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A PHD STUDENT: what i do when im not writing

I always do writing weeks in my life but this time I thought I would show you what a normal working week looks like for me when I'm not writing! Pretty much organising notes, making spreadsheets, analysing my stories, and trying to maintain a good work life balance.

Am watching your video with a smile on my face because it is so real and it is a bit similar to my day here as a master's student here in Germany as well. When I saw your video it kinda reflected my day too (the planning/the walks/ the coffee machine breaks/ the neighbor's Handwerk hahahahaha/ the prepacked lunch/excel sheets/ the interesting German windows/ overpassing the no. of words:) ) but from a documenting point of view and you know what! I know I will miss those studying days in Germany. Planning to do my PhD as well after but let's see how things will turn out. Loved the part when your partner entered the house and made the Hi move:) that was spontaneous and please keep your videos this way. Wish you all the luck and crossing the fingers for you/ ich drücke dir die Daumen :) Subscribed :)

This is such a lovely comment! Thank you so much. It is for this reason that I am recording these videos, because I know that this time will not last forever and I feel so fortunate to be able to do this right now, even though sometimes it is kind of stressful. Wishing you all the best if you do the PhD! Its a lot of work but it is so worth it.

just discovered your channel. I am thinking about doing a Literature PhD so seeing the kinds of things a PhD student does day to day is really interesting. I've subscribed, looking forward to your next video. 😊
