Last year, with the help of a plugin, I made a little link that diverts to a random post every time it is used: www.viva-survivors.com/randpost/
I use it to find old posts to read. I look for little thoughts I might want to explore more. Occasionally I remind myself, “Oh wow, I wrote that! That’s pretty bad/good/silly/weird…”
Here are five random posts and five thoughts from them that seemed worth sharing:
- You Can’t Do Everything: “You can’t do everything [to get ready], but everything you do will help you.”
- Riddles: “…if a question in the viva might feel like a riddle or a challenge, remember it might not have a single right answer. In some cases it will have only the best response you can give.”
- Blinkered: “Don’t expect your examiners to know more than you, but don’t expect that you know every possible question or idea either.”
- “How Can I Help?”: “You don’t need to have had your viva to help someone else with theirs.”
- No Rush: “There’s no rush necessary in your viva preparations or in the viva UNLESS you make it that way.”
Each of those posts is more than a one-liner. And there’s 1600 more to find by using the random post link: www.viva-survivors.com/randpost/
Maybe you’ll find just what you’re looking for.
