I am a third-year PhD student at the University of Melbourne. I’m working on a dissertation about the economic impacts of climate change on agriculture. I sometimes find it hard to stay motivated and manage my time effectively. Can anyone suggest strategies to keep me on track?
To stay motivated, set clear, achievable goals and break your work into smaller tasks. Create a detailed timeline and regularly review your progress. Stay connected with your advisor and peers for support and accountability. Find ways to reward yourself for meeting milestones and take regular breaks to avoid burnout. Maintaining a balanced routine with exercise, hobbies, and social activities can also help sustain motivation.
