One work ethic I came into my PhD program with is time management. I use a calendar and alarm reminders to assist me to keep my deadlines. Another strategy I consciously practice is not having an overambitious plan \u2013 rather, I break up my work into smaller units and keep revisiting my goals from time to time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are aspects of your work that can be simplified, so that you have more time to focus on your research?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of my frustrations is the lack of appropriate training to understand how to write academic articles \u2013 the university provides superficial guidance in the form of short courses and workshops, but this doesn\u2019t really help. What we probably need as PhD students are coaches to provide continued guidance and support on academic writing and publication. Another problem that we researchers often face is a generation gap with older supervisors. They are not really open to modern-day innovations, which leads to conflict. I want them to honor the way I want to do research and to be more open to innovations as it makes achieving academic goals smoother and less stressful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life?utm_source=contentmarketing&amp;utm_medium=r-blog&amp;utm_campaign=how-researchers-succeed-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4507 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Banner-1_Generic-Banner.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Banner-1_Generic-Banner.png 640w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Banner-1_Generic-Banner-300x65.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Each researcher\u2019s path to success is unique, and the support needed by each depends on which discipline they belong to, which career stage they\u2019re at, what their career goals are, and which skills they have (or lack). Some may need tools that increase their productivity, some may need to learn new skills, and some may need to connect with other researchers or individuals who can help them advance in their careers.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge most of them face is that it takes time to find these resources, most of which cannot be accessed in one place. What if, instead of ping-ponging between multiple platforms that serve individual needs, researchers found everything they need in a single location? What if someone focused on addressing this need for a one-stop shop so that researchers could focus on more important things?
