#MentalHealth tip: It's easy to forget, but you are not your PhD. If your PhD is having a bad day, that does not mean you are a bad person. You are more than your PhD. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum

A small but very important word to add to your vocabulary.
Yet.
I'm not a very good writer ... yet.
I'm not very good at stats ... yet.
I don't know how to do xxx ... yet .
Yet allows you to learn, grow, develop.

Use what talents you possess
The woods would be very silent
If no birds sang
Except those that sang best.
Just because someone else can sing well doesn't mean you shouldn't
Sing your own song
Write your own #PhD

Multi-failing: Doing several things at the same time and doing them all less well. The reality is we're not very good at multi-tasking. Focus on one thing and do it properly. #PhDchat #ECRchat #Postdoc #PhDforum

An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field. Niels Bohr, Nobel Prize 1922. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc
