Yesterday

Yesterday was a great day to reflect on your PhD journey so far.

Yesterday was a good time to consider how you’ve got as far as you have.

Yesterday was a good day to reflect, remember and build your confidence for your viva.

Today is the next best opportunity.

Yesterday

If you’ve already submitted your thesis, then yesterday was the best time to start preparing for your viva.

The next best time is today.

But start small. You don’t have to do a lot today. Spend five minutes. Gather together your thesis and some stationery. Figure out how many days until your viva. Sketch a plan of when you can prepare. Make a short list of things that might help. Decide what you’ll do next. Then stop, that’s enough.

Yesterday would have been great, but today is fine to make a start. Later, you can really get to work.
