PhD day 787 | Starting to analyse my interviews. Feeling a little frustrated at the guest researcher stay, the host university isn't facilitating much. So far I've met one person in the department.

7 important tips and advice every PhD student should know
PhD is considered the highest level of qualification and is not for the faint of heart. The difficulties and frustrations are real. You are constantly looking for motivation to keep up with your hectic schedule.
We understand your situation, and to assist you, we have compiled a list of seven essential tips and advice that will come in handy during your PhD journey.
These tips and advice are backed by scholars and industry experts based on their experience, and if you are in the early stages of your PhD, you will be astounded by the information.
So, without further ado, let’s get started:
Read a lot
Read, read, and read some more. This will be a very useful step in creating a research roadmap. Read as many research papers as you can on your chosen topic.
It will provide you with in-depth knowledge of your subject, what previous researchers have done, and how you can begin your own research. By reading other people’s work, you can learn what has already been done and avoid duplicating existing research.
Aside from reading old papers, remember to keep an eye out for new developments also in your field. All of this reading will help you gain a thorough understanding of your chosen subject.
Write more
When you’re reading this much, you should also be writing. Write down your progress, new discoveries, and any other important information you believe is relevant.
It is always preferable to begin writing as soon as possible. Because it will ultimately assist you in writing your thesis. Writing on a regular basis will help you hone your writing skills.
It may appear to be a daunting task, but with practice, you will notice that the quality of your research paper will improve and you will take less time to complete it.
You don’t have to write every day, but try to write at least three times a week, if not more.
Be positive
PhD research is a long and time-consuming process in which you must constantly work on finding new solutions in your field. As a result, if your research paper is not accepted or people do not support your idea, you may become demotivated.
However, keep in mind that these are all part of the process. You will not always be successful. So it’s okay if you don’t achieve your goals sometimes. Concentrate on the good things you have.
Divert your attention to topics that interest you, surround yourself with positive people, take short breaks, and engage in activities that you enjoy.
PhD may appear to be a difficult journey but believe in yourself because you will succeed and your efforts will be rewarded.
Don’t isolate yourself.
PhD candidates frequently become so engrossed in their work that they completely isolate themselves from the rest of the world. They worked hard all hours of the day and night, but the feeling of missing out never left them.
However, stressing yourself may harm your health, which is ultimately detrimental to your research. So take some time to unwind. Connect with others who share your interests and have a productive discussion about your topic.
It will provide you with new perspectives and allow you to connect with people in your field.
Do an internship
An internship can provide you with valuable insight and a deeper understanding of how research is conducted in other environments and what tools are used.
An internship can help you learn a lot. You can broaden your network with other researchers and learn a lot of details. It can be a fantastic way to gain a thorough understanding of your topic.
Reach out to people.
Building a network is critical regardless of what you do. A valuable network can provide you with endless possibilities. Don’t waste the opportunity to meet a lot of influential people and industry experts during your PhD.
Create a strong network for yourself. Reach out to people and have a good conversation with them. Make the most of your opportunity, as a worthwhile network can help you not only in your career but also in your life after your PhD.
Appreciate your small wins
Many students lose interest or productivity halfway through their PhD studies. It can happen because they have unrealistic expectations of themselves.
You don’t have to make the same mistakes in your PhD. Set attainable goals. Appreciate your small victories because they are also significant. You must accept the fact that you will not always be successful. You will have failures, but they will be temporary, and with consistency, you will be able to achieve your goals.
As a result, it is critical to keep yourself motivated and productive by focusing on your progress.
Conclusion
 Pursuing a PhD is a little challenging, but if you believe in yourself, you can achieve your doctorate dream.  The only thing that matters is that you need to stay consistent and focused. Read a lot and try every possible method to learn about new discoveries in your field. Take advice from experts in the field, and your fellow researchers and stay motivated.

I’m currently in the middle of my thesis journey, and I’ve found a tool that has truly made my life so much easier! 🫠📝☕️📚 I’ve been using Paperguide (formerly ChatwithPDF) to speed up my research process, and I couldn’t keep it to myself, I had to share it with you!
Try now : https://bit.ly/4fmIpvX ✨ Here’s how I use it: 1️⃣ Upload PDFs or paste links to academic papers. 2️⃣ Use AI to summarize, highlight key points (background, methodology, findings), and even assist with referencing and paraphrasing. 3️⃣ Turn these insights into well-organized sections of my thesis or research paper. ⚠️ If you’re feeling stuck in your literature review, give this tool a try. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I hope it helps you too! 🎓

Sexism is shit, gender presentation or what you're assigned at birth doesn't matter, but if you walk into a biology class for a dissection lab and you don't know what side of the implement is the sharp side, I need you (regardless of gender presentation ftr) to go into the kitchen and make sandwiches until you do.

*pulls out materials from 2 years ago* is this still good for a paper
some non-aesthetic stuff to match this non-aesthetic late night work!
i’m preparing to send a paper proposal and my desk has become a major source of disarray because i’ve been trying to find data i collected what feels like a thousand years ago. it’s crazy how quickly time goes by!
hopefully this results in them approving my proposal 👍🏻👍🏻 #praying
daily to do:
organise bibliography
send emails (urgh)
write abstract
let’s go!
