PhD researcher in Water Engineering
As motivated as I was last Monday to “get back to the grind,” that sort of fell through. Turns out, sometimes willpower alone isn’t enough when it comes to trying to climb out of a mental health dip; you need time and support.

In the past, I’ve mentioned on several occasions that I feel like I haven’t achieved anything; or that I’m slacking, and so on. I have also quoted several people who have told me that feeling like this is normal. But in reality, this isn’t true. And it was only after I put together my PhD progress report that I started to think differently.

I think that PhDs are funny things. You have a lot more time than you think, but also less time than you thought. It takes a long while to adjust to this concept, and to be honest, I think I’m still getting there.

I have been working 8-10 hours every day this week, without procrastinating, and I still haven’t finished my literature review. I can totally see how people fail/miss deadlines/need extensions on their thesis. It is so easy to underestimate how much time it will actually take to complete a written task.
