you look very fit 💪

Thanks for your video, it helps me so much for academic writing skill!

Cheers. This all sounds obvious and common-sensical, but... it is so easy to forget. This is a great reminder to get back to first principles and the groundings of life, from which we thrust. All else, becomes a joy.

Walking away doesn't always remove the power the supervisor has ... some supervisors are so inappropriately bad that they'll pursue you after you leave, intentionally damaging your future prospects.

WELP! Already did a month ago 😅 But I want to thank you for providing SO, SO much helpful info & for the online resources (including your course!) During my 1st year, I sought an ADHD & learning disability. I burned out being too hypervigilant & wasn't lucky enough to get through the dysfunctions (mostly external). However, I hope to utilize your strategies in my next ventures after I've recovered! I've already used some recently to get through a research conference presentation 👍🏽

Very helpful! PhD students often feel so overwhelmed by the workload/self-discovery/plus life that is true. Your videos remind me of the importance of keeping calm (acknowledging that it can be difficult) and doing one thing at a time. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your videos. I've learned more from you than from my supervisor. After six years of struggling, abandoned by my school and by my supervisors I have a lot of notes and readings but a very few actual work done. Feeling miserable and struggling in other areas of life just as you said the thought of giving up crossed my mind a few times. Your video reforced my resolve to do it no matter what. I will in debt and probably die trying to do it. But I wil do it. I will never give up. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for this video and all the advices you gave. I really struggle with writing at the moment, can’t motivate myself to start. But the thing is I do not want to quit, but can’t keep going the same time. Stuck in procrastination, doubt my abilities and beat myself up every day for doing nothing. I guess if I let the pressure go I will take it easy and even enjoy writing. I started my PhD in 2016. This is how bad the situation is.

Interesting stuff. I thought the frustrations along the academic ladder only happen in Africa! Now I know.

Thank you so much for these valuable insights!

What do you think of large language models and the possibility for them to 'academicize' our texts for us without altering the contents of the text? Is it possible that writing excellence will lose some value to academia?

I have been enjoying your videos. Now that you have shorts, I think I'll enjoy your channel even more.

Great points ! Can you please share your linkedin. Would love to connect with you .

🛟 lifebelt, this. It helps explain what's going (wr)on(g) and what to do about it clearly. Thank you, James!

Informative

Thank you for this video.

I discovered that AI creates non-existent references whenever asked to give a reference for the material churned out. It cannot be relied upon in that sense.

Very well Explained.. Thank you so much for the video..

I started my PhD journey and was thinking the same way - this is a totally different ball game - this short message has put my mind slightly at ease. Thank you for sharing your thought in this and the other videos you have uploaded. Will be watching the rest as I go along. Going to share your page in my group - hopefully it will give confidence to others who are in the same boat. 🤗

Very very good talk! Should be in starter package of all phd degrees. Or maybe you only realize the value of whats discuss in this talk when you're already into your phd..

Thank you

That was literally THE BEST video on the topic. Kudos and many many thanks for this immensely helpful video.

Thank you!! Exactly what I needed

Thank you sir.

Can I just say, I love your shirt!

In my opinion, a PhD is in the apprenticeship (graduate) scheme introduced by the university. The key difference between grad scheme and PhD is, Graduate scheme provide work experience rather than degree. It is much more likely to get included in industry after grad scheme when compared to PhD. PhD is much more complex, longer, and usually provide higher quality of regirous training when compared to grad scheme. There are self funded PhD options but self funding apprenticeship is illegal in many countries.

Last semester I almost worked everyday in my lab while I was also doing a TA duty full time and two core courses, multitasking never worked and I never got any results. Then next semester I decided to do full time research and I only worked 4-6 hours everyday but I really got results. I realised that working efficiently with good rest is more important than

Thank u

Is it a good practice to link the literature review, methodology, anslysis, discussion, conclusion to the three research qurstions that came from objectives and aim?

What if i struggle to write more about my phd topic? I managed to cover everything with 30k.

In my university, the limit of words is 80k. I could able to cover everything about my Phd with 30k! Is that accepted as phd thesis?

Really impressive way of writing thesi.Thank you for help

Thank you sir

Thank you for teaching

Good presentation

Thank you James.

PROTECTION HAZARD DAMAGE 😂

amazing session thank you sir

Why are psychologists some of the worst academic writers? You would think they would know better any one else not to overload and bamboozle readers with superfluous details, but they often do. I accept that might be seen as a sweeping statement, but in my experience, there are very few who write clearly, or write well. Oh and they certainly have some of the biggest egos in science generally.

I loved my PhD. Although looking at the current PhDs i cosupervise/work with it does appear to be more like kicking it and throwing it over the word count to then begin the sloggiest game of pong with the publishers until it finally gets through and then they throw it into a draw for it to never see the light of day again as some revenge for the last 3.5-4 years of a hermit lifestyle, than crafting a principia of your expertise. Ive always told everybody who has struggled with their phd or have been thinking about a phd, all phds are apprenticeships, you then become a "crew member" with your post docs and then you become an academic and work your way up.

I finally understand this topic thanks to you.

Oh now I know😱😰

Great insights and wisdom. PhD or aimply any that one pursue should be based on pure interest that reo validation. After all it is vanity

Thank you so much 👍

👏👏👏

I have to thank you, Dr Hayton. Every time I get anxious before starting to write I come to your channel and watch some bits, it gets me motivated and helps me grow my confidence and mentality about the whole process.

Thanks for the videos, thesis or dissertation writing well explained

thank you sir
