You are a product of the PHD as well as your Thesis

• Make time for self and family 
• Accept things may not always go to plan
• Project manage your PHD to avoid burnout
• Be strategic – trying to do everything will result in burnout
• Develop your professional skills as well as research skills
• The Graduate School offers wellbeing support information for PGs at http://bit.ly/2i1QBL5 including a link to the ‘The PhD Survival Video’ for doctoral students.
• Cut yourself some slack – your research maybe one step forward and not change the world
• But it just might!
