I recognise that hair-twirling mid-thought process (and the cognitive rigidity!) I cannot count the number of notebooks I use on my desk. Thanks for the company and camaraderie, Holly. When someone asks me how I'm 'getting on with the PhD', my go-to answer is 'slowly moving forward'!
Right on time! I spent the last 3 days building the perfect plan for my thesis writing. Today, the first day went by and I am already behind 😂 There is no point in rigid plans with ADHD Good luck Holly!
I relate to you and your problems so much, it's crazy. It's really nice to see someone who is thinking the same way, makes oneself feeling less alone or strange or whatever ❤ ALSO TOTALLY FEEL YOUR CURLY HAIR REMARK 😂😂
Its a LIFE LONG STRUGGLE! Every time I wash my hair and its successfully curly, I'm like "I'm a master of the universe, I'll never have this problem again" and then all of a sudden its the next day, and my hair is back to looking like a plant. Le sigh.
Ooh man, I relate to all of this so much-that sense of not having a plan (or just having a concept of a plan haha) has really been an issue for me in moving forward with my dissertation. I get so easily overwhelmed and feel totally lost when things change with my research, as they inevitably always do! Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I always love and appreciate your content!
Final year here, too. I do PhD stuff. That's what I do. Do not invite me to your parties. They mean nothing to me. Brief conversations only, thank you in advance. Must go. Words.
Perfect timing Holly! I am writing my Thesis and trying to refocus my energy while working two jobs and managing my course load. Always love your vlogs ^_^
I have not seen your videos in a while as I am also deep in the Phd but I love your videos so so much :) they are always HILARIOUS and I admire your intros 100%. Wishing you good energy to end the year
So nice to see you back Holly! I am in the process of analyzing my data from my study that finished a week ago - and I tell you...the perfectionism and the procrastination is real!! It has followed me throughout my entire doctoral journey - I guess it is just how I am wired :) It took me doing the research to finally get over the "imposter syndrome" that has plagued my for a very very long time...I 100% know what I am talking bout, and really, there is no one who can do what I am in doing in the way that I am doing it. Period. Also...I have this on a post-it on my screen - "Perfection isn't possible..but PROGRESS is :) " and that has really helped! I see you have been mentioning Notion again...anyway you would be willing to share a template of your basic notion setup? It looked beautiful and simple. I always think with notion that complicated will be better...but it is not :( Nice to see you again! And keep PROGRESSING!
AHH I'm so happy to see your PhD saga again! I'm applying for doctorates atm and life is getting insane...any plans to do study with me streams? I totally understand if it's not doable for you though...
Ohhh, that’s exciting Emma! Hope the application process goes well for you ❤️ I don’t know about the study streams just yet. I’m taking each week as it comes but I am thinking about it! X
Wonderful to hear from you again, Holly! What you say resonates with me so much as I am moving into the final few months of my PhD. Wishing you lots of luck and success and just overall happiness with your process of work! Looking forward to the next one already :)
Definitely. It is a sea green transparent cooler so I think it would look fab as some sort of light catcher in a window but I'm not quite sure yet! Let me know if you had any ideas too! X
As someone who recently accepted their curly hair and also struggled with day 2 hair: DRENCH IT on day two. Just put your hair under the water. I sometimes add a tiny bit more of curling cream to my hair for frizz and then I diffuse until almost dry. Then I let it air dry. It's helped a lot.
I wish I could like this twice. I'm in the throws of the writing phase (and some statistical analyses I have yet to come to terms with...). Rewatching this makes the process feel less isolating and less daunting.
Thanks Mary - it’s a bit silly, still slowly working through database work and there is a limit to how exciting that can be 😆 hope your work is going well!

Wanting things to be “just right” or having a “perfect” plan of attack is what stops me up from doing anything tbh so I really get it
It’s so crippling and annoying 😰😰😌
I do appreciate the fact that we had a new video of yours 4 weeks after the last one instead of 4 months! ❤️
I’ve impressed even myself with the quick turnaround 😅❤

Agreed!! The hair twirling = classic ND 😆😆😆 hope the work is going well, Susan ❤️❤️❤️

Super relate on the cognitive rigidity thing... fellow ADHDer here! Appreciate the chat about the planning in that regard.

There's got to be a cool artsy way of using the warped LP - it's just so beautiful!
Definitely. It is a sea green transparent cooler so I think it would look fab as some sort of light catcher in a window but I'm not quite sure yet! Let me know if you had any ideas too! X
@@HollyJaneYT maybe using heat to
Shape it into a bowl? I love the light catcher idea though!
I so love your work, please tell us more!
Go Holly go!!! This is awesome. Thank you for sharing the process!
Thanks Victoria! X

Ohhhh no way 😀 I’ll try that and report back! Thank you 🤩

What a lovely vlog, Holly!

@@HollyJaneYT Thank you! it's all going well - slowly but steadily 🤍x
Ι love your vibes
Thank you 😊
"Jesus doesn't care about the complexion of your face, Jesus cares about the complexion of your soul'. Sheer poetry. Get that on a greetings card.
Lolol. The merch potential of this channel is powerful 😂
