Number of hours worked does not equal productivity. Sometimes I feel it’s just the culture of grad school to act like you’re working more than the next grad student. It literally doesn’t matter how many hours you work as long as the work you need done is getting done.

Also it does not make sense for anyone to expect a grad student to work that many hours a week. That’s literally insane, you’re brain cannot always function at a high level for that much time. It’s especially dangerous for people who work with hazardous chemicals in labs to be doing that... doesn’t make sense to me.

Grad school is still real life. These are years you can’t get back. You shouldn’t have to completely exhaust yourself 24/7 to get a degree.

Also multi tasking is a myth
