I'm going to tag on something called thee 42% Rule. It's something I learned in therapy, where I need to be resting about 42% of the time in a day, or at least on average a week. That amounts to rougly 10/24 hours spent resting. You can divide this rest into physical, mental, and social rest. Something that hits all three is sleep, of course. Eating something either by yourself or with good company can hit all three as well. Some things can be restful in one way but taxing in another, like exercise being mentally relieving but physically stressful.
I'm still trying to figure it out for myself, but yeah. The 42% Rule is a valuable organization tool for myself, so I don't burn out.
Also watch YT videos at 1.25x or 1.5x to save hours over weeks!
I'm watching them at ×2 - ×2.5, but it doesn't save me time. I just watch more videos
Wait this is so cool. Do you think you can show how to do internet scrapping? Not Python but how you integrate everything for collecting articles.
Wow, Andy I need most of these for my scattered ideas and projects. Thanks so much!!
Another amazing video Andy! Thank you 🙌🏾
Awesome video!! Could you possible do a video going into more depth about using software to automate tasks? E.g. give examples of a range of types of task and how you automated them? That would be incredibly helpful!
Actually, your advice are as awesome for working in a corporate settings!
Thank you very much for sharing. I will apply that for my new business adventure!
Steady dropping gems. ❤
For Python GUI stuff, there's a drag-&-drop app for constructing GUIs called Figma, that outputs the requisite Python code using tkinter to yield that specific GUI (it works for ttk too).
Thanks, I knew sigma but I didn’t know that it can output something readily for tkinter
Love those advises, morning work and no multi-tasking, pure gold!
Excellent! Thoughts on a yearly reset video for academic studies? Like what can students in their academics prepare for a new year?
Your suggestion helps me a lot 😊
Thank you for all your videos. They are very informative. Please could you also make a video on the SOP format. Thanks
I am a PhD student and I can relate to each topic you talked about. In some of them I was inclined to think a specific solution was the best one and you confirmed that; in others I achieved the solution you talked about by myself. Agree 100% every thing you mentioned
Thx Andy, I feel like university is preparing generally with doing multitasking. It's great to keep in mind that this is not the only way to go
Bless you, Andy! 🤧
Thank you Andy 🙏
YES!!! That's what I imagine myself doing 💭😔... When I saw your headline I was like "Nah, he can't have done what you want - that hope is just confirmation bias..." Thank you 🤩
Would appreciate a video on a first PhD conference!
Databases like PubMed send you alerts about new papers published in your area of interest (you just have to set up the search string once).
Hi Andy. You did a video 'fastest way to do a literature review'. I really loved that because you actually went on the specific websites and showed us how to use it briefly. I think if you did the same here it would have made this video even better.
This is great advice.
💚Would love to get some leads from you on what kinds of software are being made by academics for things like scraping.
Thanks for the video!
I don't know if you read Deep Work by Cal Newport but that book has similar themes with 'no multitasking'. It's a really good book.
Enjoying this stuff cool
uwu excellent topic! if you could do more time (and stress) management vids, that would be super helpful. thanks andy!
Bless you..
Thank you
Honestly, though... NLP to go over submissions and replies and assignments and grading and more, whew! That would be something! And believe me, it's coming! Edit: For Python look into NLTK. Being strong with graph theory probably also helps, or at least knowing the algos for quickly sorting through them.
Not having to shave in the morning each day must save a lot of time
I work as Assistant professor on Contract. I don't have Research Grants and Laboratory. Every thing I have is my Laptop. I do research on informatics. And my enthusiasm and moral is keeps on reducing. Further I am unable to manage time.
Sounds very Cal Newport
It's helpful to understand how your brain works as well. If your brain is busy and thinking about many things as it may well be with numerous people around you, the thoughts you have are short link connections. They are things which are conceptually and obviously connected to the immediate line of thinking. If on the other hand you stop thinking and relax so your brain might be running at 20% your brain starts to make longer connections.
Now of course in science all the obvious stuff has already been noticed. Where you might find fresh insight though is in the more lateral kind of thinking. It may take a long time, but as you know, it only takes one genius invention or discovery in your life to really make it. The thing is you will never get there is you need to write 5 papers a year and be on this and that committee, teach, apply for grants and god knows what. Worse still, is if this ultra hard work/busy state is the standard, then the whole institution will never invent anything worthwhile and for that matter the whole country. If you have doubts about this, think back to how graphene was discovered. The chap was on his lunch break.
After mistakes learned from my younger days, I don't even multitask over a year now. I set just one goal for the whole year. You can be ambitious and set many. But if you don't complete any, there is probably no point.
Have you got sone python code to share?
Wow coding really is the future
Stop sleeping
And now you can relegate your entire Master Thesis to ChatGPT! ;D
what is the PHD you have been achieving ? The one to create nuclear bombs ? Poisons to put in the fields ? Plastic to rain onto us ? Gaz and oil to disrupt climate ?
@F happy new year !
Whaaaat?..
@@breathtakingsamurai981 what ? what ?
@@maboiteaspamspammaboite9670
Tbh, I didn't get the point of your comment. Like, why would you write something like that?
@@breathtakingsamurai981 it is the duality of science. That you pretend to honestly not understand the fundamentals of this question tells me you got to walk your way toward that fact before getting to judge.
Why are you yelling?
Go getters are always making videos about their ways. It does not translate to non go getters.
