In this episode we talk about managing the festive season as a PhD researcher.

 

We talk about taking breaks and setting up systems to support yourself to be ‘out of office’.

 

Milly gives a reminder to tailor your rest so that it suits you!

 

She also gives some great advice on how to maintain momentum and ramp yourself back into work after the holidays!

This is the final podcast of the season!  Wishing you a wonderful festive season and see you in January!
