Q&A | PhD applications, time management, finance, reading papers

[@Dr.SariHamoud]

I thought I was the only one who spends so much time reading one paper. Thanks for your honesty, Dr Lucy.

[@captain_torket3254]

Same here, lad.

[@josephjenkins3293]

Hi Lucy, could you please share your thoughts on how to effectively set goals to ensure consistent progress is being made? E.g. how to find the right balance between goals that are too ambitious vs not ambitious enough, the best way to divide larger goals into sub-goals, how to maximise your chances of reaching these goals, and how to recover if you don't reach them. Thanks as always for sharing your insights and perspective!

Hi, I just found your channel - I have to say that I am actually amazed! I want to do my PhD, and let me say, you have motivated me. Thank you so much for the clear effort that you have put into this video (and all other videos).

[@MrSpottednoble]

This was fantastic. And I really like your EverNote mini-tutorial. It's come at a great time for me as I'm doing my prelims reading.

Apart from your description of issues faced by PhD students I like your green eyes

As a second year I wish I had found this video before starting! Great video Lucy!

[@noelgranado5554]

Hi Lucy. I am contemplating taking a Ph.D. I am following you and enjoy watching your informative video. Thank you for doing this.

[@maderaverdes]

I really needed to hear some of this as I'm applying to programs right now! (and finishing my master's). Thank you! :)

[@quahntasy]

Thanks a lot lucy, I'll be applying for PhD soon. Glad you made this video before I started.

[@klarizzevaldoria39]

Thank you Lucy!!! You're my go to vlogger for surviving and finishing my masters. Watching your videos has helped me to find my own pace and what will work for me in the process. I really just have to sit down and get it done. Considering to take advantage of onenote vs evernote because of the limited space. Or it's not an issue at all and evernote would be more efficient to use? Thank you so much!!! All the best ❤

thank you

[@sophosalpha]

Once a cat did PhD and her name was Lucy

[@xxblabla75xx]

Thanks for the video, this was useful! However, I disagree with your points about reading papers...after reading the abstract, the methods section is most important - how do you know the results are accurate if you don't know whether their methodology is sound? I would strongly discourage skipping to the conclusion!

[@amrshehab6990]

Why u stooped uploading videos in KZbin. I am feeling very sad, and I messed your beauty eyes.

[@SourcingtoSales]

One tip I would add is don't let the first few month impostor syndrome get you down, its an exponential learning curve! (feel free to visit my channel for some tips XD). Great video and excellent tips!

[@nurunnaharkhanam8177]

Please let me know your email.
