I'm going to tag on something called thee 42% Rule. It's something I learned in therapy, where I need to be resting about 42% of the time in a day, or at least on average a week. That amounts to rougly 10/24 hours spent resting. You can divide this rest into physical, mental, and social rest. Something that hits all three is sleep, of course. Eating something either by yourself or with good company can hit all three as well. Some things can be restful in one way but taxing in another, like exercise being mentally relieving but physically stressful. I'm still trying to figure it out for myself, but yeah. The 42% Rule is a valuable organization tool for myself, so I don't burn out.
I am a PhD student and I can relate to each topic you talked about. In some of them I was inclined to think a specific solution was the best one and you confirmed that; in others I achieved the solution you talked about by myself. Agree 100% every thing you mentioned
Awesome video!! Could you possible do a video going into more depth about using software to automate tasks? E.g. give examples of a range of types of task and how you automated them? That would be incredibly helpful!
Actually, your advice are as awesome for working in a corporate settings! Thank you very much for sharing. I will apply that for my new business adventure!
For Python GUI stuff, there's a drag-&-drop app for constructing GUIs called Figma, that outputs the requisite Python code using tkinter to yield that specific GUI (it works for ttk too).
YES!!! That's what I imagine myself doing 💭😔... When I saw your headline I was like "Nah, he can't have done what you want - that hope is just confirmation bias..." Thank you 🤩
Hi Andy. You did a video 'fastest way to do a literature review'. I really loved that because you actually went on the specific websites and showed us how to use it briefly. I think if you did the same here it would have made this video even better.
I work as Assistant professor on Contract. I don't have Research Grants and Laboratory. Every thing I have is my Laptop. I do research on informatics. And my enthusiasm and moral is keeps on reducing. Further I am unable to manage time.
Honestly, though... NLP to go over submissions and replies and assignments and grading and more, whew! That would be something! And believe me, it's coming! Edit: For Python look into NLTK. Being strong with graph theory probably also helps, or at least knowing the algos for quickly sorting through them.
After mistakes learned from my younger days, I don't even multitask over a year now. I set just one goal for the whole year. You can be ambitious and set many. But if you don't complete any, there is probably no point.
It's helpful to understand how your brain works as well. If your brain is busy and thinking about many things as it may well be with numerous people around you, the thoughts you have are short link connections. They are things which are conceptually and obviously connected to the immediate line of thinking. If on the other hand you stop thinking and relax so your brain might be running at 20% your brain starts to make longer connections. Now of course in science all the obvious stuff has already been noticed. Where you might find fresh insight though is in the more lateral kind of thinking. It may take a long time, but as you know, it only takes one genius invention or discovery in your life to really make it. The thing is you will never get there is you need to write 5 papers a year and be on this and that committee, teach, apply for grants and god knows what. Worse still, is if this ultra hard work/busy state is the standard, then the whole institution will never invent anything worthwhile and for that matter the whole country. If you have doubts about this, think back to how graphene was discovered. The chap was on his lunch break.
what is the PHD you have been achieving ? The one to create nuclear bombs ? Poisons to put in the fields ? Plastic to rain onto us ? Gaz and oil to disrupt climate ?
Also watch YT videos at 1.25x or 1.5x to save hours over weeks!
I'm watching them at ×2 - ×2.5, but it doesn't save me time. I just watch more videos

Wait this is so cool. Do you think you can show how to do internet scrapping? Not Python but how you integrate everything for collecting articles.

Love those advises, morning work and no multi-tasking, pure gold!
Wow, Andy I need most of these for my scattered ideas and projects. Thanks so much!!

Steady dropping gems. ❤
Thx Andy, I feel like university is preparing generally with doing multitasking. It's great to keep in mind that this is not the only way to go

Thanks, I knew sigma but I didn’t know that it can output something readily for tkinter
Another amazing video Andy! Thank you 🙌🏾

Databases like PubMed send you alerts about new papers published in your area of interest (you just have to set up the search string once).
Excellent! Thoughts on a yearly reset video for academic studies? Like what can students in their academics prepare for a new year?
💚Would love to get some leads from you on what kinds of software are being made by academics for things like scraping.
Thanks for the video!
Bless you, Andy! 🤧
Would appreciate a video on a first PhD conference!
Your suggestion helps me a lot 😊

Not having to shave in the morning each day must save a lot of time

Thank you Andy 🙏
Thank you for all your videos. They are very informative. Please could you also make a video on the SOP format. Thanks
This is great advice.

Sounds very Cal Newport

Enjoying this stuff cool

uwu excellent topic! if you could do more time (and stress) management vids, that would be super helpful. thanks andy!
Have you got sone python code to share?
Wow coding really is the future
Stop sleeping
And now you can relegate your entire Master Thesis to ChatGPT! ;D
Why are you yelling?
Go getters are always making videos about their ways. It does not translate to non go getters.

Tbh, I didn't get the point of your comment. Like, why would you write something like that?
