** In Collaboration ** It’s been a difficult year all round. The coronavirus pandemic has seen the vast majority of us stuck in our homes for the most part of the year. It’s not all too surprising that many of us are growing bored and are really starting to crave a sense of fun and adventure. Sure, the first few […]
It is a reasonably odd feeling, when something that took up so much of your life is over. A PhD creeps its way into every nook and cranny of your being. It crowds relationships, puts plans on hold, judges when you are watching TV, interrupts all conversations, creeps into dreams, and of course cements itself on your LinkedIn and other […]
** In Collaboration ** There’s often nothing more terrifying than the thought of having to try and sell yourself at an all important interview, as it’s your only opportunity to get your message across whilst proving to your potential future employer that you are the right candidate for the job. Preparing for such an interview needn’t be a difficult task, […]
*I originally wrote this post in the last year of my PhD* I have had notes for this blog post for a few months now, I just couldn’t work out how to write it in a way that would do the topic justice. I wanted to write about this topic when I was in an (semi) objective frame of mind, […]

I want to share (not precisely) my daily activity, because until now, I am still trying to get a balance between my […]

Everytime I do a Q&A on Instagram or ask what kind of content people want to see on my blog, Imposter Syndrome is always mentioned. I have not posted much about it to date, mainly because I don’t really have any tips for overcoming it. However, […]
Cafes are your best friend- I like to get to the city early before work to sneak in 1-1.5 hours of PhD work with a coffee. Stay back at work- I often spend an extra hour at work (4.30-5.30pm) working on my PhD. I am in the ‘work zone’ when I am at the office so I find I am […]
**In Collaboration** Giving your family the best start in life is something everyone thinks about at some point in their lives, either before you decide to start a family or as your family grows. It is only natural to want the best and providing your family with the best can come in many different ways. Savings We all need a […]
**In Collaboration** Privacy can be very important for many people, but it’s not always a given depending on where we live. Furthermore, sometimes privacy is a more abstract idea, such as dealing with how your in-home devices track your activity.
