Two Months Left
Use the next two months as an opportunity to finish the year in a good place for your viva.
Every day for the rest of the year take two minutes to do one of the following:
- Write down a work-related achievement from that day;
- Write down one thing in your thesis you are proud of;
- Write down one thing from your research that didn’t exist before your PhD;
- Write down one thing that moves you closer to being ready for your viva.
If you do this for the next sixty days – let’s say you take Christmas Day off! – then you’ll have sixty small pieces of confidence for your viva. Sixty small thoughts that will help you start 2026 in a good place for whatever challenges await you.
Two minutes per day, one thought written down per day. What will you do?
