PhD Voice and PhD Voice Community (2023) 100 Tips for Doing Your PhD on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d never heard of PhD Voice, but according to Amazon, it \u201chas become a leading figure for PhD students around the world. It has interacted with 100,000s of PhD students, resulting in PhD Voice having unparalleled experience and knowledge of the problems and challenges PhD students face every day.\u201d I came across this title while browsing for resources for new doctoral students and thought I\u2019d take a look. The format of this book means that it\u2019s not something you are going to sit down and read from cover to cover like a novel, but I\u2019ve dipped into it a number of times, looking through the contents page to select tips I want to read about.<\/p>\n

It pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin \u2013 it lists 100 bitesize tips for surviving a PhD, including<\/p>\n

advice on how to begin:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Pick a Good Supervisor<\/li>\n
  • Formulate the \u201cQuestion\u201d of Your PhD Simply<\/li>\n
  • Make a Plan of Your PhD<\/li>\n
  • When First Starting, See Your Librarians<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    useful practical suggestions:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Make Notes of Each Paper You\u2019ve Read in a Simple Spreadsheet<\/li>\n
    • Work on at Least Two Things and Alternate Between Them<\/li>\n
    • Attend Conferences and Talks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      motivational messages for dealing with failure or discouragement:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Accept That You Did Your Best<\/li>\n
      • Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Admit That You\u2019re Wrong, Even to Yourself<\/li>\n
      • Learn From Your Mistakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        and self-care suggestions:<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • It\u2019s OK To Be a Little Lazy Sometimes!<\/li>\n
        • Eat Well<\/li>\n
        • Don\u2019t Forget to Have Fun!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Tips are categorised as blue star (research tips), gold star (well-being), red star (motivation and productivity tips) and green star (career tips). Some tips cross the boundaries of these categories and get more than one star.<\/p>\n

          This book is big on work-life balance and dealing proactively with stress. It encourages playfulness, exercise, and good sleep and extols the virtues of making friends with other PhD students. Initially I read these thinking that it is all pretty obvious stuff, but then it occurred to me that I hadn\u2019t exercised at all during the first week of my PhD and that this really wasn\u2019t the way to go. So maybe I do need these reminders?<\/p>\n

          I certainly appreciate some of the study tips, as they are things I hadn\u2019t though of. For example, I get bored pretty easily (to the extent that I have considered getting assessed for ADHD), so I really liked the suggestion of working on two things and once and swapping between them to keep things fresh. There\u2019s also practical advice on publication, for example organising your paper\u2019s author order early. This is something I really wish I had done when I was a research assistant before starting my PhD, and I probably need to be more assertive about it.<\/p>\n

          And I probably also need to hear that You Won\u2019t Like Your Supervisor All the Time, And That\u2019s OK, as I like to like people and be liked by them. Inevitably there\u2019s going to come a time when I disagree with my supervisor or we get into conflict, and I need to remember not to take this to heart. It won\u2019t be the end of the world, and it will pass.<\/p>\n

          Overall, there is nothing startling in this book, and you could probably come up with most of the suggestions between you if you sat and talked with your cohort to share survival tips. But it is a good roundup of advice and I\u2019m glad I\u2019ve thumbed through it, as I\u2019m still in the induction phase of my PhD and feeling a little lost.<\/p>\n
