In this episode, I share a fresh approach to planning for PhD students and academics that doesn’t rely on perfection. If you’ve ever felt like planning isn’t for you because you “never stick to it,” this episode is for you. We’ll explore imperfect planning: creating flexible time structures that make it easy to pick back up after things go off track.

Tune in to learn:

• Why expecting perfection derails most plans
• How to make plans that support your goals without guilt
• Simple tips for sticking with your goals in a flexible, realistic way

Perfect for anyone balancing research, deadlines, and the unpredictable journey of PhD life!
