Amazing presentations! It is indeed very important to learn to select from numurous evidence to tell a comprehensive story.

I always edit after 2 - 3 paragraphs, otherwise, I get lost. I sometimes edit after one long paragraph with complex and intertwined concepts....can't move forward before editing it.

To be honest, you’ve been the only one who’s spoken up about this and did so candidly ❤

There must be a way to sue ; just a wish, but i wish

But my research is reading and writing.

Yes. I've been trying to get it to write me a meal plan because I hate doing it, and the ai version so bad. Can only keep a max of 3 specifics in mind at a time and if given a specific type of diet it just repeats the top most popular ideas. If ai was feeding us we'd all be either really fat or eating an expensive cardboard tasting diet that's so monotonous and repetitive. It's just so bad. Also can't schedule for a stay at home mom worth a nickle.

I started doubting it the time it said it was gonna do my work for me. Besides it gets many basic facts wrong. Ended not trusting it at all. Finished by abandoning it all together.

I already wrote a thesis, a dissertation and I'm currently working on a book manuscript. Every time I need to do this I go back to this video. Thank you so much. This is so helpful, you have no idea.

Damn the video you get at 3 am can be the ones you need

James please be my supervisor

This is life saving. Thanks a lot 👍

Would you quit a well paid job and a well settled life to go to PhD (linguistics) under the assumption that after it you will get an even better paid job? Awesome video btw!

Thank you sir 😊

thank you

Wow. A video under 10 minutes that takes most people an hour to say. Quality over quantity.

Any and every problem that arises is actually due to the imbalance of power dynamics and a mindset of one party that they are virtually immune to any punity. Everyone knows which is which and what is what.

Thank you

It was very helpful😊. Thanks a lot. I m a 1st year phd. student.

Thanks, James. Always encouraging. You have wisdom in your approach and give a succinct delivery. A wonderful reminder (indecision stemming from a lack of confidence is also what Dr. Cecile Badenhorst (Faculty of Education at Memorial, in Canada) says also).

Thank you very much 😊 this is really helpful and I’ll definitely keep that in mind while writing my thesis

Inspirational

Informative video

I have tried many times but i failed 😢

I need your help ,please..

This was really useful and you are really good at explaining it. Thank you.

OmG this is exactly what I am dealing with right now . I am so glad you saw this as important enough to make a video !!

Great video, it highlights a great point in communicating Ph.D.'s daily worries. I do find it sometimes difficult to respond to people every time someone asks me how many years left do I have in my candidature. But as you've mentioned, reframing my reaction on it helps, along with other points you've mentioned such as self care, routine, etc. ^_^

That's slow haha, I wrote mine in the last weekend

Soooo true😊

Sooo true😊

Nice video

I am planning to go for PhD but I often feel I am not qualified to go for it. On one hand, I am a teacher of English Language in schools teaching commercialized books of language learning and they have got nothing to do with what I am going to study in PhD modules. On the other hand, I believe I haven't got enough researching skills because of focusing on schooling. How would advise me preparing myself for this journey? I want to study either in Applied Linguistics or TESOL what do I need to read and skills do I need to acquire? What books should I read either on my professional and research writing? I would be grateful if you answer my question. Thank you in advance

I want to try it. If I fail, it will be fine because I'll still have my master degree with me. If I succed, I'll be the best searcher of my field.

I’m doing a PhD in materials engineering (wool biocomposites) and I must say that I have no regrets. Of course I’ve been lost and bewildered one too many times. Of course they push me to points where I think I can’t even do it. But these supervisors of mine push me with kindness, with smiles on their faces, with arms opened wide. Every Tuesday, we hold meetings; myself, my director of studies, and two other supervisors. All they want is to simply teach me! I’m learning a lot, I’m growing, and I’m glad to be here in England studying.

“The skills that got you into a PhD, are not the same that’ll be needed to complete one” Wow! Quite poignant 👍👌

Great tips Thank you…

Not sure.

incredible one, thank you for the amazing session

Thank you so much for your lecture, Dr. Hayton! I will apply the skills you taught us in Portuguese! Greetings from Macau! :)

Thanks!

Finally someone tells the hidden Truth 😅 thank you Mr. James ....please more advice for writing.

This is obviously needed video, incredibly helpful. Thank you.

Academics like to generate their own made up gobbledegook language when plain English would clearly suffice to explain any subject simply in order to justify their very existence and perpetuate their made up industry of over inflated egotistical, overpaid professors, and overpriced courses and lectures.

PHD = Apply your knowledge Kindergarten-Masters Degree = Memorize what we tell you to memorize

It's correct

My university prof has a PHD.....I dropped out and became a salesman and now I'm earning more then he is.....university is for losers.

Yap...so true..

I guess the short summary is: do it if you want to work in the academia. You'll absolutely need a PhD there, and it is at best useless outside.

Amazing, thanks for the video!!! You have inspired me to choose the theme of my future PHD :D

This video came at the right time… I'm currently a fourth year PhD candidate and very behind with working in my dissertation because I don't have good time management strategies. I love what you said about starting with an early win and then building upon that throughout the day. Thank you for this insightful video!
