Starting good work habits at Ask Metafilter

Filed under: Careers, Links;

This post over at Ask Metafilter strikes me as being good reading for those starting a PhD; even though the question concerns starting a job. You should treat a PhD projects just like a job in many ways. Here are some of the replies I think are particularly good advice (the last point of the last one might have been written with a PhD project in mind!):

” …take the first 15 minuites of the day to write out a to do list, and the last 15 minuites of the day to review it, make notes on whats completed , wheat left undone and what do I have to do tomorrow.”

“Keep a reference notebook so you don’t wind up asking the same questions over and over (like .. “which printer is which”..). Get the answer once and then write it down.

“Stay organized from the start, make sure you have all the accouterments that you need. Keep a running list of what you have accomplished and what still needs to be done and always, always, always, have an end game in mind.”
