[@Merve77772]

It's actually a piece of advice that was given to me by several lecturers to not start at the beginning until you know exactly what all the points in your paper will actually be.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

[@SarinaMotta]

such a good advice

[@bernadineh7107]

I have a PhD and worked as a postdoctoral fellow and watching your PhD diaries I am very much struck that you seem to spend a lot of time planning, sub-planning, sub-sub planning and doing side research projects but not actually doing the research on the question you have in front of you or writing your thesis. I'll be honest sometimes I watch and am literally telling the screen for you to get your research sorted and just write!! Yes you need to create your own structure when doing your PhD and man it is hard... but you also need to suck it up and get drafts to your supervisors to critique or else you will never do it. Your drafts may be terrible in your eyes but it will give you direction and an idea what you need to tighten up

[@lajourdanne]

Everyone’s PhD journey is different. If it was the same for everyone, you wouldn’t need to make significant and original contribution to knowledge. Instead it’d basically just be a research master’s degree. Things change over time, people complete their work differently, and everyone has a different process. This difference in process is something scholars learn when they interact with people going through the dissertation process outside of their own cohort. It’s also why new professors are usually not allowed to chair committees. They have a false sense of what it means to do a PhD and they overestimate their competence (The Dunning-Kruger Effect helps to explain this beautifully).

[@bernadineh7107]

Agreed however the fundamental nuts and bolts is a written dissertation/thesis..... if one cannot move forward to producing a thesis then any significant or original contribution is less meaningful@@lajourdanne

[@reginayfavors]

Think abut it like this: the ones who have PhDs and who are now being accused of plagiarism, while having high profile careers, would have benefitted from extensive planning. Kaelyn's dissertation just takes significant time to ensure she has the ideas right given the literary period and topic.

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

I’m relieved to hear that I’m not the only one who LABORED over her prospectus and still felt lost when starting on the dissertation 😅 loved this video as always ❤

[@Sages_and_Pages]

It's amazing to watch your journey as you complete your dissertation. Thank you for sharing your tips and experiences along the way. I am rooting for you!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you so much!

[@sacharymateo1710]

You are really a motivation to me, thank you for all that you do, Good luck in your journey

[@pianegro1094]

Thank you so much for the video! That’s exactly what I need right now. ❤❤

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yay! I hope you enjoy

[@arabicabqariyyah111]

Yeayyy new amazing video ! ❤🎉

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@gnuzii]

This is so awesome!! I'm doing my masters right now but I am inspired to adapt this template :)

[@hansolo989]

this pushes me to hurry and finish mine, good luck

[@himani12]

Loved this…..please post more vlogs of you in the process of keeping up with this plan…really motivating ❤

[@KaelynGraceApple]

That's the plan!

[@dvrk_academic]

I've also started from the middle and worked my way through random chapters to suit my mood... it really helps to relieve some of that pressure

[@shanshangalan8074]

That is what I do on writing my thesis for my writing

[@elishevabaram1958]

Thanks, this came just in time as I am planning 2024 with the hope of getting my MA by the end of it.

[@courtneycardini]

Amazing Kaelyn! I greatly enjoy your videos and love following along with the process. Though I am not working on a dissertation, your schedule ideas help me see gaps in my scheduling plans. Thank you for sharing!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed it

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed it

[@karleybioanthro]

This helpful for when I begin my dissertation!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

yay!

[@lajourdanne]

Girllllll, relatable! I teach project management and can’t for the life of me incorporate that into my personal life 😂. And…. I bought the template lol.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@terrakim218]

relates to nothing but you look gorgeous in your thumbnail!! Love your videos

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you so much!!

[@lannadelarosa]

Following over here from TikTok! Can I see how you setup your Primary Research/Sources in Notion?

[@dianahoran796]

Hi, thank you for yet another fun video! I really like the template and it seems super helpful and organised. I had a question (that might take an entire video to address, which I would thoroughly enjoy): I was wondering how do you manage to avoid burnout? I tend to work all the time and normally I do not mind, but not having taken a proper break from the PhD over the Christmas break resulted in burnout with several health implications as well. I normally really enjoy my work and the PhD requires large volumes of work - to the extent that taking a break now means soooo much more work later down the line, so I just end up kind of working most of the time. Right now, I am taking the time to relax more and to do the bare minimum, however I am trying to figure out a long-term strategy that does not involve a burnout-healing cycle. Long story short, how do you manage to work at the rate that you do whilst avoiding burnout? Any insights would be welcome.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I will make a video on this because I’ve recently come back from a major burnout spell

[@dianahoran796]

@@KaelynGraceApple I will keep my eyes peeled, then! And I'm glad to hear things are better now!

[@theoryof.lauren]

would love to hear some of your podcast recommendations at some point! 🤍

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I love diary of a ceo and deep dive!

[@JayReneeIAm]

Can you actually do a video about how to write a dissertation proposal?

[@GenXBeauty]

I second this! I would love to get some insight on this topic.

[@elliotuk13]

do you have a video on how to set up sources databases?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Check out my PhD student workflow video :)

[@elinacraft9256]

How can you be sure that with notion you are not gonna loose permanently some of your data by accidentaly deleting a page for example? Is there a recycle bin or something?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I’ve been using it for four + years and have never had an issue

[@Valerian1218]

Do you have any instructions for how to customize this Notion template? I bought it, but the sizing and spacing is all off, I can't update the countdown timer, etc.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I have a beginners guide to Notion coming soon but you should be able to toggle the vertical bars on the page to adjust the size or drag and drop in order to create a custom line or side by side option

[@reginayfavors]

It is always easier for me to write the literature review section first.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Me too!
