PhD advice for first-year PhD students. Starting a PhD and moving from taught classes to research can be lonely and it can be difficult to know what to do. Reflecting on my PhD journey and some of the challenges I have faced in these later stages, I am now sharing 16 things that you should do in the early stages of your PhD to maximise your success for the duration of your PhD. I have also included some things you should not do. I hope this video can be helpful to anyone doing a PhD or interested in doing a PhD. If you have any other tips please leave them in the comments so that we can help others on this journey.

Hello Courtney, thanks. I am only a Masters student on sabbatical right now but this video gave me a glimpse of what's involved in doing a Doctorate. Thanks for your clear presentation of the topic. I will probably watch your video multiple times in order for me to digest your points of discussion. I like to watch Thomas Frank's productivity videos as well but his videos are so dense with information that it can be difficult to digest in one sitting. Thanks for adding to my reservoir of info.

Thank you for providing this content. You mentioned a reference manager. I never knew this existed. During my masters program I used word or doc with highlights and short sentences to help me identify the content. I will definitely explore this further

Hi Maria, Thank you very much for this, it really help me to reflect on my current mindset. I am in the 5th month of my PhD study. Started getting panic because I have not got a system nor a work habit at the moment. But will started get organised, hopefully it's not too late! Please upload more video about your PhD study experience, thank you!!!

Hi, Thanks for the excellent advice. You have advised me not to isolate myself in the first year of my PhD (which I am starting in May) and to stay connected. I will be doing my PhD via my university's Cloud Campus. Do you have any tips regarding how I can not isolate myself?

Congratulations on the offer! And best wishes when starting. It’s really tough starting virtually and I applaud you in advance. I would say to get as involved as possible. If there are events such as virtual coffee mornings, try to join. Go to your research group meetings etc. It’s really easy to stick to yourself when doing distance learning. But just try to join various calls. Take advantage of the welcome week events and connect with some of the new PhDs as well

@@NerdToFit Thanks Maria. When you say 'connect with some of the new PhDs as well', do you mean 'connect with some of the new PhD students as well?'
