How to organise your PhD
- Practice telling your friends about your PhD.
- Know the best conferences and journals.
- Identify your key annual conference
- Keep an annotated bibliography: Add 1 item a day!
- Plug into social media to see what is going on
- Keep close your favourite examples of papers and PhDs – Revisit them and really know them
- Use your supervisors wisely – Come with questions and ideas, not just wanting “help”!
- Think about use of different media to demonstrate the originality of your research?
- And keep reading and writing, every week
- Start small with sentences, paragraphs and flow
- Read back – look for any gaps in your argument or jumps between ideas. Address those to improve flow
