Hello friends

[@mll1208]

Fixing problems by moving forward - such a great thing to keep in mind when procrastinating because you're doubting the topic and sources... that's where I am now, but your videos inspire me to get back at it!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yay! I am so glad you got something positive from the video

[@Squigsnwiggs]

one your fav parts of vlogging is filming moo, and one of my fav parts of your vlogs is seeing moo 💖💖 she reminds me of my dog scuttles who passed away about a year ago, so every time I see her it warms my heart

[@KaelynGraceApple]

[@shannonparker6192]

I'm in the final month of my PhD (!) and only now is my dissertation coming together. Keep going!

[@youvegotwings]

This video is a great reminder that it's been a while since I checked my February goals (oooops). One thing I am working on is my sleep hygiene, every time my sleep app congratulates me for sleeping over 7 hours, I am so happy

[@youvegotwings]

And this video was so cosy and peaceful, so perfect, love that kind of content

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thats wonderful

[@KaelynGraceApple]

yay I am so glad you enjoyed it

This might seem silly but sometimes I wonder, how do you have so much stamina to read both for study and for leisure? In these videos it seems like you’re reading all the time which is amazing! I’m in grad school now and just find it hard to want to read for pleasure when all the schoolwork is out of the way. maybe a video topic could be how to build a habit of reading for pleasure or falling in love with reading again? ❤️

I love Moo

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰 I love making these videos so much

[@emigonzalez9765]

Well that was a tease at the end! I thought you were going to post another video in the morning! Lol… but happy to read that you are back on a regular weekly posting schedule! Your Moo is also one of the top highlights of your videos for me! I just can't stand how cute she is! This was an amazing video… very relaxing for sure. And the music that you choose to put in between you speaking is just lovely and perfectly paired with the things that you are filming… Great work!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Haha I had intended to film two days but just ended up cutting it off here since the next day was an admin day. I am so glad you enjoyed the vlog!

[@adapting344]

I’m sure you’ve thought about this already or tried maybe but I really rec taking a laptop stand esp when you go to the library where you’ll be for hours. I have chronic pain and always take mine when I go to the library

[@stevetgraphixartist]

LOVE MOOOOO lol She cracks me up LOL

[@ashleesantoro255]

I would love a bookshelf tour! ❤

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Oh! I’d love to film this

[@kagisohawthorne5313]

Just started my PhD and love yr vlogs. Will try milanotes thank u

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Aw thank you so much! Let me know how you like it!

[@KatieIbsen]

The number of drinks on your desk tells me we are kindred souls

[@KaelynGraceApple]

😂😂😂😂 all the beverages

Phone not working outdoors? Straight up nightmare.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

yep lol luckily it was just frozen and was a quick fix

[@LovelyOwl274]

Hey Kaelyn! Quick question--why don't you read/annotate pdfs in Zotero? It'll save all your highlights as searchable, color-coded annotations (ie, if I want to see if I highlighted anything in the color orange with the word "fiction" in a document I can do that without looking up every occurrence of the word fiction and visually assessing whether or not I've highlight it orange). I'm also a PhD student and I cannot imagine going back to Goodnotes from Zotero. (The iPad app is also great for annotating.) Is there something about Goodnotes I'm missing?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I find the tech incredibly outdated and clunky with zotero

[@LovelyOwl274]

@@KaelynGraceApple Goodnotes is definitely more elegant, but on a workflow level I find that Zotero's functionality with quotation/citation cuts the friction way down when I'm writing on secondary lit. But I get it!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

We should all use the systems that work best for us :) I no longer use a citation management software so I have cut zotero from my workflow and this is what makes most sense for me @@LovelyOwl274

Haha every day. Yet I am so happy when I do (after it’s over)

I think you would have been done with your doctorate had you done it in the uk. Don’t understand the back and forth between the US and UK 😅

[@KaelynGraceApple]

UK PhD programs don’t include course work and are much shorter. I am in the UK on research leave from Yale

[@export2597]

@@KaelynGraceApple ye that’s what I meant uk dphil takes 3 years and us phds 5-9 years.
