The PhD Life Coach

13. What to do when you know you're behaving like a toddler


Listen Later

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

Do you find yourself just not doing the thing you intended to do? No good reason but you just don't want to? In this episode, I talk about what to do if you find yourself just behaving a bit like a naughty toddler and saying "no" to all the things that are good for you. You'll get a five step plan to move from resisting starting to getting going on your tasks.


In the show I mention three past episodes - you can find them here:

How to review your year the strengths-based way

How to set new year's resolutions that stick

Ten lessons I learned about doing PhDs by playing Stardew Valley



I also mention the time management lecture by Randy Pausch



Definitely check them out!
