Productive 5am Dissertation Writing Routine | Book Haul, PhD Writing | Dissertation Diaries Ep.6

[@tigerdp123]

Hey Kaelyn, my name is Denisse. I'm an undergrad English major in my senior year, and I've been a silent watcher of your content since your second year of the PhD. I randomly found one of your study with me livestreams. I'm in the habit of telling people how much they mean to me as much as I can. Your videos are incredibly motivating for me. I have a hard time caring about school, and having ideas but not being able to excecute. I have a lot of anticipatory anxiety that makes it hard to get big assignments done. I find you incredibly comforting and I appreciate the effort you put into all of your content. You helped me realize that I don't have to be one thing in my career, I can do whatever I want. Thanks for that lol.

I'm in my first year of my doctoral program and I'm having the hardest time reading for fun and reading for class. I'm picking up other hobbies but I MISS reading for fun. It's so nice seeing that you make time for both!

[@Emjh56]

Hey girl, could you film a video or do a segment of a video with what you would tell a person thinking about getting their phd and also go into your experience and how your PhD works from admission to graduation? Would love to hear what each year of your PhD looks like!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yes!! Thanks for the suggestion

I can’t find your history channel when I search for it by name on KZbin? 10:15

[@Anna-kj3js]

Thank you, Kaelyn, for putting in all this work on top of what I know to be a very stressful period. I am also trying to finish my PhD and apply for fellowships at the same time and I feel your pain of constant exhaustion 😵‍💫 For some reason, it's reassuring that there are others out there who are going through the same thing! Good luck with your fellowship applications!

If you're into small town folklore vibe novels, I highly recommend The Splendour Falls by Rosemary Clement-Moore. It's about a girl who moves to a remote town for a break after an accident on stage as a prima ballerina. She gets entangled with a cult of young people in that town and there's a lot of reference to Welsh folklore, specifically about Prince Madoc and his discovery of America. I enjoyed it because as much as it was deeply rooted in magical/eerie vibes, there was a definite realistic element to it in regards to the history of magic/superstition and the archaeology of it. The author really did her research! Also the romance is so beautiful:)

Your channel is awesome ! Your work ethic and honesty is inspiring even for an older gent who didn’t have the mental strength to buckle down an experience the challenge of college at this level. Life regret but seeing how you get things done is incredible knowing the level of difficulty you’re dealing with !! BRAVO !! All the best ! Keep this content coming

[@janalewis3030]

Loving the content as always! This week I'm working on a final project for my Marketing and Publicity class for my Master's. Wow - marketing is a whole new world!

[@iyeshafranklin1046]

You got this hang in! ❤ I’m currently in the final stage of the PhD Dissertation and you have really pulled me through those tough times! Definitely my favorite! Cheering you on every step of the way

[@dezmoustache1420]

Hi there! Just wanted to warn you there might be a tiny part in the Shadow and Bone trilogy that might be hard to read! We don’t read anything from that characters perspective like with Ninth House, but the SA is still there as a characters backstory.

[@Hana-zr1nn]

Appreciate you sharing the different feelings we go through as students and researchers to get to that final draft it's fulfilling, but hard

[@magnusmotor1364]

I actually went to bed yesterday at 6 a.m. so i was going to bed when you started, aha! :) I insist on finishing my daily PhD assignment no matter how long it takes.

[@katiegilley4772]

I'm reading The Poppy War too! I loved the first part, with Rin as a scholar, but am struggling with the second half and am debating whether I should continue with the series. It's kind of like the Lord of the Rings series for me - I love reading about hobbits in The Shire but lose interest when they go on their adventure! And I also have a 4:30am wakeup. Usually a 15-20 minute nap in the early afternoon helps me get through the rest of my day. I enjoyed this video - thanks for taking us along with you :)

[@annikafabbi6685]

Is anyone else not finding TheRedheadHistorian channel? Could someone link it?

[@forksnoken5520]

I can’t find it either. Maybe it’s not published yet.

[@EmiWoodScully]

“I don’t have a single living brain cell left“ 😂😅 You spoil us with this long video! Love following along during your writing process! What kind of tea do you drink? It looks delicious!! 🫖☕️

[@reneerowling5130]

I just did a mini haul on Booktopia. I am both happy/sad that I didn't see this post before hand because my haul would have been quite a bit bigger!

[@ShannonRae9859]

As someone that started has a history major, i love your videos. It makes me want to finish it when i am done with nursing. I tried to search for your other channel but i cant find it.

[@yoyosoy1]

I meant the writing tracking progress she uses on the video.

[@heatherfranco5810]

Thanks for another great video. Also love your top with the buttons. Where did you get that?

[@Hannahali94]

I need to read more novels is going to help with my writing!

[@Hannahali94]

I am glad you are doing this already! honestly i admire your work flow

[@ClaudiaSuarez22]

Or maybe that record was enchanted with Ashmole 782 👀❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

0:18 This is for the Matcha spotters haha

[@edv_9]

I really love your videos, they are very inspiring :) I just couldn't find your second channel, could you share it?

[@marsalien4]

Also tried to find this, but couldn't!

[@aaronsmith600]

With your handwriting reading, is there an AI program that can translate it for you? Just a thought! Enjoying the content as always!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yes! I use Transkribus :)

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Though for this particular set of documents, even AI can't seem to read it 😅

[@meddahi3194]

We stayed until the end of the video

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you!

[@tylerdurden4396]

What screen is that please?

[@yoyosoy1]

Hello, anybody knows where I can find the word and writing progress tracking? Thanks

[@DebbieDavidson06]

How many hours per day/week did you spend on phd work prior to going ABD?

[@CJ-by2bo]

What apps do you use to track your notes?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Check out my PhD Student workflow video for my process!!

[@ebruakkan6451]

Hi Kaelyn. I would appreciate your urgent advice. I have applied but later I noticed that on my personal statement one sentence red typed. I do not know how this happened. But I am so disappointed. What do you think I should do? Admission office do not correct my personal statement. Should I contact them directly with professor and send my personal statement to their e-mail address. After admission, is it normal to contact the professor? what should I do? I am very disappointed. Please help me.I trust your advice so much.

[@Mimi-nr6jx]

I'd also like to hear Kaelyn's advice but I honestly don't think one sentence in red is a big deal. They understand that typing errors happen.

[@ebruakkan6451]

Thank you. Such a relief. I couldnt sleep for two days. I was so sorry. @@Mimi-nr6jx

[@luluzyz]

[@essayem-creative]

Love a good book haul. I picked up the Roxane Gay book as well, can't wait to dig into it!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Every day can be a book buying spree for me. I’m always excited for book hauls.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I love buying books so much its become a problem

[@PokhrajRoy.]
