Making it Hard!!
How could you make doing a PhD as
hard as possible?
For example: – Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming!
– Work full time
– Get married
– Choose a supervisor you hate
![Page 14: ithinkwell.com · Making it Hard!! How could you make doing a PhD as hard as possible? For example: –Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming! –Work full time](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042121/5e9b20047c38ad2a54193968/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Making it Hard!!
Renovate your house
Change topic
Leave writing till the very end
Use data that’s hard to get
Use a unproven methodology
Use expensive equipment you don’t have
Do it in another language
Get sick – your supervisor gets sick
Fall out with your supervisor
Have two supervisors who don’t like each other
Choose a topic you know nothing about
Choose a topic you love

Write and Show Tips
MYTH 1:
I’ll write when I feel ready. I’m
not ready yet.
You may never feel ready
You have to write before you
feel ready
That means NOW
![Page 28: ithinkwell.com · Making it Hard!! How could you make doing a PhD as hard as possible? For example: –Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming! –Work full time](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042121/5e9b20047c38ad2a54193968/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

more article will

Problems with Readitis
Time consuming
You get confused
You forget
![Page 30: ithinkwell.com · Making it Hard!! How could you make doing a PhD as hard as possible? For example: –Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming! –Work full time](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042121/5e9b20047c38ad2a54193968/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Experimentitis
The belief that
doing one more
experiment will
solve all your
research
problems.

Write and Show Tips
MYTH 2:
I’ll get it all clear in my head
first and then write it down
Writing is not recording
Writing is a creative process
Writing clarifies your thinking
![Page 32: ithinkwell.com · Making it Hard!! How could you make doing a PhD as hard as possible? For example: –Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming! –Work full time](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042121/5e9b20047c38ad2a54193968/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Write and Show Tips
Write early and often
Bingeing versus snacking
Write for 2 hours preferably in
the morning
Nail feet to floor
![Page 33: ithinkwell.com · Making it Hard!! How could you make doing a PhD as hard as possible? For example: –Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming! –Work full time](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042121/5e9b20047c38ad2a54193968/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Drafts
It’s very hard to write final copy from scratch
Drafts
Zero draft
First draft
Second draft
Etc
As you write you develop your ideas
![Page 34: ithinkwell.com · Making it Hard!! How could you make doing a PhD as hard as possible? For example: –Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming! –Work full time](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042121/5e9b20047c38ad2a54193968/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Show Part
Unlike wine, writing doesn’t mature in your cellar (or hard disc)
You have to get feedback
– Your supervisor
– Posters, conferences
– Papers
– Peers
Ask for specific feedback
![Page 35: ithinkwell.com · Making it Hard!! How could you make doing a PhD as hard as possible? For example: –Choose a broad topic e.g. global warming! –Work full time](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042121/5e9b20047c38ad2a54193968/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
