Room To Rest

Daily Post

It’s another public holiday in the UK.

I have the day off and I hope you do as well – and if you don’t I hope you can take a day off soon!

 

Remember that when it’s time to get ready for your viva too.

There’s work to do when you’re preparing for your viva but you can control the flow. Don’t make it too intense. Don’t leave yourself no room to rest. You can’t be at your best for the viva if you put yourself under enormous pressure while you’re preparing.

Make a plan. Take your time. Give yourself room to rest after the achievement of submission. Give yourself space to breathe while you get ready for your viva.

Remove Obstacles

Daily Post

Viva prep can be challenging. To remove friction from the process, find ways to remove obstacles that get in the way. For example:

  • Gather the resources you need before you start.
  • Plan how you will do the work.
  • Ask for help in advance.
  • Find somewhere to work that suits you.
  • Make a good, relaxed space for yourself.
  • Tell people to give you space if you live with others!

These thoughts are off the top of my head. Viva prep is personal: consider your situation and what you might need. Whatever it is, think about how you could achieve a good, quiet, relaxed environment to prepare in. Then take steps to make that a reality.

Viva prep can be challenging to do – so do what you can before you start to remove obstacles from the process.
