    PhD sucks when your supervisor ain't interested. Its 1 year & he hasn't given back my 60 pages write up of my phd dissertation ( that's two chapters btw) Blocked & depressed at the moment. On bed & watching this video while thinking how lucky you are to have had a good supervisor. Phd depends a lot on the supervisor!

      It makes it so much harder when your supervisor sucks. Sometimes it is possible to change supervisor, it is at my university, and you can discuss with various deans of research. Another option is to find a secondary supervisor. Another option is to be assertive and schedule a meeting to communicate your disappointment, take a support person into this meeting to back you up. I counsel a lot of uni students, and I'd recommend that you discuss your concerns with a university counsellor, which is confidential.

      I got 4 supervisors changed and each supervisor asked me for the modifications as per their choice. Imagine it sucked up all my energy and motivation level that i had in the beginning. My current supervisor is super cool, no response no guidance and em doing all the work watching videos from the internet or seeking help from the A1. Having too short time to submit yet em hopeful.

    My one tip. Start organizing your data right after you start getting results.
    The first thing you can do is “Start writing your experimental chapter from day one”. Yes Then results and discussion. Leave the intro to the end.

    Ideally, we could do a lot DURING the PhD! I didn't realize how important it is to write DAILY, even for 30min-1.5hr a day, it's still a lot better than 2 months crunching in the end (I mean, pretty incredible you were able to do that)!
    Your illustration from WORD looks awesome, for more complex Chapter 1 figure, students could consider the free software Inkscape (I introduced it from one of my videos), it's great for irregular shapes.

  • @juliacardon3356

    Great video! My way of creating "little goals" was writing up a detailed index and colouring it with green (when done), yellow (when working on it), and black (when undone). I didn't use red because it stressed me out.

  • @adrianafayad6774
    @adrianafayad6774 2 роки тому +8

    My supervisor couldn't care less and my phd has no classes to attend, it's "just" the research, therefore I end up feeling brutally alone and lost. Don't have anyone to whom exchange ideas with, what would really totally help. On top of it, don't have any grant and I'm an immigrant in Portugal, so I have to work in a job I hate for minimum wage and I have two kids, divorced. Not gonna miss these times when and if I manage to get my thesis aproved. Have 7 months to deliver and defend it. Not one chapter writen so far, just one computer for three students (my daughters and me). I should give up, although mothers are almost naturally multi-tasks people, life doesn't help a single mother who tries to work in science. It's not the lack of free time. It's our mind who is so exhausted of being the one who has to work, take care of the family and write a thesis, all without any help at all... I really don't know how I'm gonna do this but I must.

No grants, not enough money to get by, not enough time to write, feeling alone.. I can't describe everything here, but believe me, my situation couldn't get worse😵But I am determined to finish my ph.d journey. I hope we can encourage each other and help each other by exchaning ideas! I don't know your research area, but I would love to hear about your research topic! Let's not give up👍 just in case if you want to talk, my email is here: raul8401@gmail.com ( I am a female living in Tokyo, Japan) Oh, btw my name is SeungMin and social science major:) Looking forward to hear from you😊

    One really difficult part I find writing is going back and rereading. It’s very tough to be sure you didn’t make a silly mistake in writing or sometimes I notice an idea I want to completely rework. What can be tough is then making sure that idea still leads into the next portion congruently. Sometimes I spend days rereading and redeveloping ideas alone, but I suppose that comes with improving. Peer revision must be a big help that I should implement. Great video

    Progress over Perfection is the point I needed to hear! I've just finished my 1st year of my Law PhD. It's part time, but career responsibilities also mean I should be doing continuous writing. I've only written half of a chapter, which was near Perfection in terms of requiring little revision now going forward.
    But my supervisors have been urging me to just write a chapter concerning a very wide and endlessly debated theoretical topic. The topic fascinates me, and as a result I'm trying to read too much before writing. The irony is because the topic is endless Perfection in this area will never be achieved!

    I agree with your advice, but would add it often isn’t in our power not to be heavily directed to focus on formatting. Some supervisors both lead the project in directions they shouldn’t, and also expect perfect formatting every time. It’s heavy to deal with, and quite common at least with the friends I’ve heard from. Many lamented that the chapters their supervisors urged them to cut out, were the best ones in the end. We have to take more power over our journey... alas, I am not sure I know enough to do that confidently yet.

    I used to think that writing is challenging, especially, working on a book; without any proper training or experience, I started writing a book, and within 3 to 4 months, it was done - 300 pages, 250 words per page. I took some help from the internet, but the rest was on me. I read some books and checked how they were written, my audience, my main argument, thesis, and information, then the following was just effortless. I chose those topics I already had a lot of information, so I did not need to read a lot. Now I am on my third book. Yeah, I love reading and writing to some extent that I can write for the whole night with small breaks, but I did not do that as I knew that I would be able to write in the time given to me by the publisher. Now I am thinking of getting a Ph.D. degree, which is in the offing, as I have already started the process to go to London and stay there till the finishing date. Thank you for reading. One thing more, once, I accomplished three tasks altogether - IELTS, CELTA, Master's degree. English is not my first language, but more than that has been since it started residing in my mind.

    I'm writing up the thesis while already working in a non-related job. Not having a proper working space at home really kills me and being "caged" at home blocks my writer's flow as well.

      I have a similar problem. currently working on a paper, but doing it from home and only home with no proper and private working space is difficult because the work-life boundaries seem to be non-existent. personally during the pandemic, because we can't go to the library, I deal with it by telling my family that I will do this I will do that for two reasons: to establish boundaries, and to ensure that I would get the motivation to write/read because now that people know what I am supposed to do, I will have to do it. and I guess that works for me? :)

    I technically started writing my thesis in 2020. I wrote a review and put together a 1st author paper within those 3 years. So when it came to write my thesis I was 80% done. I just need to complete a chapter..

      Okay. If you are being honest, let me tell you, you can do it still. Make an OUTLINE. Make a timeline. Start.

    • @DrAndyStapleton
      @DrAndyStapleton  3 роки тому +171

      Okay, it is very possible. And remember that a thesis is written one word at a time. Work every single day on a very focused part of your thesis according to an outline and I'm in no doubt that you could finish. Try not to become overwhelmed by the magnitude of it but rather focus on one small part at a time.

    I am like you and that I need to keep my momentum going but I do have days where I do less work than others. If I have a day where I wake up really motivated, I might work for 10 or 11 hours, but on the flipside if I have a day where everything seems to be going wrong or I just have a lot of personal stuff I need to take care of, I don’t feel bad about taking that day or that half day off. what really seems to kill me is when I have multiple days off in a row that start to pile up. The intimidation factor of starting again seems to go through the roof.

    Hi , how did you incorporate time to read papers and build supporting information/ references. Seems to take a lot of time and slows down the writing flow?

    I started the vid thinking the advice might not be super relevant to my type of thesis. Then I see it's on organic photovoltaics, I go 'what', I'm working on perovskite PV's. Maybe the advice will be relevant.
    Then at the end you mention that you're from the same uni as me!
    I'm gonna look your thesis up. I used to do OPV's.
