Overview

It takes a lot of willpower to stay motivated throughout the duration of a thesis.

Work, life, family, illness, travel, and community commitments all compete for your time.

Then there's the loss or reduction of your social life, which has its own set of problems.

So, how do you find a balance, keep your sanity, and keep your eye on the prize– your Doctorate– without alienating everyone around you?

This panel discussion will draw on first-hand experiences of people who have managed to stay focused and motivated throughout their own journeys.

The webinar will take place at 1.00pm UK time and we look forward to a lively discussion.

To maximise the learning for participants, questions may be posted to the webinar discussion board after your registration. These will be addressed during the webinar.

Following the presentation of the webinar, the host will be available to answer any research-related questions you may have in an open door session with no agenda other than your own questions.

Key Take-Aways

This webinar will provide participants with a better understanding of:

  1. How do you become and maintain motivation?
  2. Managing the Procrastination Factor and Staying Motivated
  3. Creating a Focused Mindset

I have just signed up to this hub and it has been insightful. It was quite daunting at first and I’m thinking if do-able. But with me in this platform I can foresee a clearer future. Thanks to the organisers.
