END OF 2nd YEAR|Feeling unaccomplished Maria B 2019-09-27 | I’m about to start my third year of my PhD. Upon reflection, I realised that I felt like i had accomplices very little in the past 2 years. I’m not sure if others have felt like I have. But I had to remind myself that it’s not just about the outputs and the publications, the PhD is a process, a period for growth and development. So I chose to focus on those wins to end the year positively. Let me know how you deal with these moments of self doubt.
