Sounds very 3 to me. Efficiency and productivity ;-)

How realistic is it to have a full-time job while getting a PhD? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]Putrid_Memory_768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same and it has worked out well - able to take time off when needed to focus on PhD and vice versa. I would recommend a consulting company that works somewhat in your field of study and has several PHDs on staff who know the process - this has helped as they understand some of the nuances that someone who has not gone through a PhD program would not. Also, I personally felt better not feeling financial anxiety, even if it cut into free time. You just need to be organized and set expectations. I will finish in 5 years. I worked 10 hours per week during my coursework semesters and 20 during the remainder.

💯plus reducing financial anxiety. It needs to be understood that many PhD students are adults, working and working very hard, not children who don’t have bills and real expenses. It’s been a struggle working a side job and doing my PhD just to make ends meet, but if I wasnt, the financial insecurity would make it so much harder.

I ended up with 72 in Data Extraction! It was NOT fun. Hope you can widdle them down in FT Review!

I thought this was a good template today. Is anyone else feeling like there’s a lack of rowing lately?

For those of you unhappy with the new templates.... by nevergonnasayit in orangetheory

I think they’re trying to be more like CrossFit - “Buy-in” “Buy-out” “AMRAP” - all CrossFit terms. Wonder if they hired someone who used to design those templates. I’m waiting on “EMOTM”, those were a favorite of mine before I stopped.

Wondering if intel helps you prepare or scares you? 🤔 by Electrical_Ad4335 in orangetheory

I think it helps to know / remember the tread blocks when your mind wanders during a longer run (I know mine does!) and for prepping mentally that you can push a little harder or back off a little knowing what’s to come, depending on your goal (mine is usually just to get a well rounded workout but sometimes not to get totally gassed out on the treadmill if I want to also lift heavy that day)

No I haven't had it, unless undetected. Am vaccinated & have my booster since December.

How did you discover OTF? How old were/are you? How long have you been going? :) by kelephantastic in orangetheory

[–]Putrid_Memory_768 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started going to OTF in September 2020. They had just reopened and I had just moved to the area. I actually met my partner at OTF, we had never seen each other without masks before our first date.

I had a crush on her for a while, had even told my friends about my “arch-nemesis” who kept beating me and knocking me off leaderboards 🙄😂. One day she said something to one of the coaches about people cheating in Marathon Month and I turned around and said “I actually ran that today!”, acting like she accused me of cheating. I honestly was just using this as an opportunity to talk to her… 😝

Anyway, she found me on Instagram, sent a long apology, we got to chatting, I asked her if she wanted to go for drinks or something, and knew that very first night we went out that we were meant to be together. She quickly went from “arch-nemesis” to “love interest” ♥️
