  2. “My life as a PhD student” – The progression of a PhD study seen from the PhD students’ point of view • The exact progress in my ph.d study is ………….. unfortunally gone • But here 3-6 years after - what do I remember then: • I started my Ph.D. study - August 2005 • Bought and old house from ‘24 in September 2005 • Had a child in April 2006 • Defended my thesis in November 2008. • Delivered approx. 1000 hours of teaching • Took approx. 30 ECTS courses • Was frustrated over my self, my supervisor, my wife • Wrote 7 papers (4-5 WOS) • Went to 3-4 international conferences • Wrote the thesis in a month (in my basement) • Handed in my thesis on exactly day number 1095 • Was cited several times in national press / TV • So I must have done something right….

  4. 10 goodadvisesaboutweightloss doing a Ph.d • Set specific goals and measurable goals • Both on results and effort (Not for the goal it self – but to make the assignment clear and concrete) • Make you goals visual (“write it over the door”) • Keep it simple – in the beginning or all the way • Do the “new” to a routine – a good habit – Learn by making it to something positive • Accept resistance – it’s a natural part of the journey • Be clear about why you are doing this – it’s all about being self-motivated and positive grounded • Go public – tell others about your goals (and problems) • Find some good role models (which might be hard to find in our world) • Be consistent (but don’t be afraid to change your idea – the reviewers might be right) • Maintenance – the hardest is not to start but to keep on.
