Hitting A Milestone

Daily Post

Today is the 2500th daily post of Viva Survivors. I take a few days off each year for Christmas and with sharing the occasional webinar and my Kickstarter last year there’s been more than two-and-a-half thousand blog posts, but today is “officially” Post Number 2500.

 

When I decided to start a daily blog I didn’t have an endpoint in mind. I only wanted to share a post every day to provide some help. In that regard: mission accomplished!

I see every day as another chance to try something. Every day is another little reminder that I am the person I want to be, that I choose to be. 2500 is a big number, but every day is a milestone.

I do the work and pay attention and remind myself that I did it.

 

You can do that too. Do the work – whatever your research is – pay attention to the fact that you showed up and got things done and take time to remind yourself. The foundations of confidence in your capability rest on being aware of what you do and what that means. This helps with your viva and with your everyday life.

So show up. Do the work. Treat every day as a chance to do good work. Treat every day as a milestone towards your goal.

 

And whether this is your first Viva Survivors post you’ve read, or your twentieth or even your 2500th, thank you for reading!

The 2000th Viva Survivors Post

Daily Post

(I couldn’t think of a snappy name!)

Except for the odd Christmas Day off here and there, I’ve now written and published 2000 days of posts on:

And a lot more! There are pages for resources, the old Viva Survivors Podcast and links to books and ebooks if that’s something that you need.

There’s even a link (click here!) if you just want to read a random post from the last five and a half years of writing.

 

Thank you for reading. Thank you for subscribing. Thank you for supporting the blog when you share it, donate via the Ko-Fi link on the site or buy a book.

Thank you to all of my workshop and webinar participants. Thanks to many colleagues and friends who have supported me along the way.

And thanks to all of you and all of that I’ll keep going! 🙂

Episode 50: Thank You

Episode

Episode 50! In some ways it has come around really quickly, and in others it feels like it has been a long time coming. This is a very different sort-of episode: just me talking for a little while. The Viva Survivors Podcast has been around for nearly three and a half years, and it feels like a good time to say a lot of thank yous, as well as reflect on where the podcast has come from, the opportunities that have come my way and talk about my plans for the future.

As another thank you, I’m offering 50% off all of my ebooks available at Payhip. Simply use the code FIFTY when prompted to get any of the following for half price:

The code is valid until the end of November 2015: share it on to anyone who you think would be interested. This is just one little way I can say thank you for all of the shares, RTs, emails, messages and other things that so many people have done for me and for the podcast over the last few years.

If you want to get in touch please email me, or find me on Twitter as @DrRyder or @VivaSurvivors. I love hearing from people who want to come on the podcast to share their PhD and viva experiences.

Here’s to the next fifty episodes! Thanks for reading 🙂
