We all procrastinate. It’s something that is easy to do especially at the beginning of your PhD/Doctorate when it feels like you have a lot of time. But to be successful—by this I mean successfully finishing, submitting, and defending your dissertation—it’s not enough to say that you want a PhD/Doctorate, you also have to do the work. Doing the work means sitting down at your desk, butt firmly stuck to chair, and just doing it. It helps to set yourself concrete goals like writing 500 words a day, and trying your best to meet that target every day.

The PhD/Doctoral journey is a long one where it’s easy and normal to feel unmotivated for certain stretches of time. We all need a little inspiration to perk us up during those days. I offer you four handy motivational quotes for when the going gets tough during your journey… “Success requires Action”
