10 Time Management Tips From a PhD Student & Entrepreneur for Busy Students

[@samu9048]

Not personally ever knowing anyone who is a Yale PhD student or of that caliber, this channel is really cool b/c this is my first opportunity to see first hand how top tier students think/work in an in-depth, personal manner. Great idea for a unique channel. Thanks!

My most productive time (in grad school) is late into the night. During undergrad, it was in the afternoon. A lot of great tips, thank you so much for sharing!

[@Megnut3636]

The tip about putting items from the task list onto the calendar is so helpful. I've done that from time to time when I was feeling overwhelmed, and it helped a lot. I'll test out doing that more consistently and see how it goes.

[@EYTSIRHC1]

This makes me feel better because I keep trying to study in the morning and it never happens but I’m not a morning person but I am not a failure just because I don’t wake up early to study. It’s not a realistic expectation for me. I’ve worked evenings and overnights for years and my body isn’t going to abruptly change just because I want to. I can stay up studying and sleep in and that’s perfectly fine.

I did watch this video four or five times now over the last years. Always useful, always helping. Thank you! I am currently planning out my academic year 2024 and I actually started by looking for my times to recover and rest before I included all the deadlines and other stuff.

Girl you need more subscribers, this is the best information I have heard from anyone on youtube!

[@ImanZaineb]

These are extremely helpful tips that I will use and share with students. We did an accountability study session last weekend that went well. Thank you!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Wonderful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing

boundaries, it seems intense, but its efficient. love it. Thanks for the tips.

[@langleykreuze9347]

One of your absolute best videos ever!! I’m so inspired 🥰

[@kathrynbyoutube]

I have never heard the tip of using a calendar instead of a to-do list but I think I'll start implementing it right away! I'm a working professional, but in the evenings I do volunteering and self-directed study, and sometimes I get overwhelmed by how big those personal projects are relative to the limited time I have to actually spend on them each day. I can tell already they're going to seem more manageable once they're broken out onto a calendar. The rest of the video was great as well. Thanks!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

It makes me so happy to see that my tips may be useful for you

This video is super helpful and great reminder for time management tips! I am balancing my full-time and part-time job along with study for graduate school entrance exams since I'm hoping to start applications this summer. It's a project in itself! 🤣

Thank you for this, I’ve been waiting for this one ❤️

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yay! I hope it is helpful

[@jacquelinenelson326]

Absolutely! It’s methodical in a way that really helps my brain. And I really appreciate the emphasis on getting to know your own body and what works for each person.

[@jacquelinenelson326]

In terms of keeping a calendar as opposed to a to-do list; do you map out your calendar at the start of each week or month (or both)? Just wondering if you find it easier to plan by week for short & long term tasks or by month.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

@@jacquelinenelson326 because I have so many appointments and calls, I have to constantly update my calendar as things pop up.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

My schedule at the moment is mostly mapped out three months in advance according to the “perfect schedule” model I have set

[@beksaylor]

Don't lay in the bed and read! I will knock out in less than a minute...LOL

[@kimberlysroadtophd6791]

Super helpful!!

[@JillyMae89]

How do you deal with the schedule your body "wants" vs working 9-5 where you have no options on working hours? I have this vicious cycle going bc I naturally have the most energy at night, can't sleep early or wake up early to save my life. But I have to wake up and be at work early no matter what...when I get home I have to jump straight into school work, dinner, cleaning, whatever but I'm a zombie bc I got no sleep and had to use so much brain power all day long. Idk what to do

[@KaelynGraceApple]

When I worked 9-6 in my corporate job or 7-5 in my professional athletics career, I would come home, shower, take a power nap, and then eat dinner and study until 1-3am. I would then use Sundays which was my only real day off to recover and sleep. However, everyone is different so what worked for me might not work for you.

[@piccolaradge8333]

THANK YOU! ❤️

[@Kate-mo8lh]

Do you have any time management books you can recommend other than GTD?

[@0901Lea]

Thank you for this video!! Those tips are wonderful, and the timing was perfect, as I am currently juggling an article, field research, a conference paper and a translation project at the same time 😅 I've turned off notifications for most services a while ago but really struggle to let go of my mail server (I typically let it run in the background, especially when I'm waiting for feedback...). Regarding the reading: Do you typically schedule reading by time (e.g. I will read for two hours) or by length of a chapter/book (e.g. I will read 200 pages)?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I schedule reading by time :)
