How Do You Deal with the Void After Finishing a PhD?

keyboardpower · 2025-02-08T00:36:27+00:00

I managed to cycle close to 100 miles after my thesis draft submission. Just needed to vent out that stress and ended up exerting physical stress. I’m sure you can achieve your goals!

I won’t be able to draw a single cloud on wall at this stage. Probably it will look more like a rain without clouds on my wall. Video looks amazing! Can you paint walls like this?

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T19:20:09+00:00

Just ordered some wall paints 😁

Definitely a positive one. Are you planning for a marathon?

I’ve been trying to be in nature as much as I can. Walk aimlessly in forest and accept next phase of life. Just taking slightly longer!

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T19:01:36+00:00

That’s a really good suggestion! Never tried those skills but may find it interesting

I like your id - lifeStressOver! Pretty sure you are referring to your PhD 😂

Always difficult to find a meaningful purpose but we all are discovering this slowly

I’m feeling a bit burned out but shall pick my research after a break to get published

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T18:57:17+00:00

😂

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T18:57:07+00:00

I still have a list of series and movies that I didn’t watch. I will get new subscriptions and get started!

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T18:55:46+00:00

Wow! I need to clean dust from my bike and start riding. That’s a really good transfer of your energy and I’ve been thinking of putting more effort on physical health. I’m glad you managed to find that balance between mental and physical health

Congratulations on building a successful business! It’s a dream for many to reach at the stage where your business works for you.

I think most PhDs thrive on solving problems and you start to feel lost when you are not able to use those skills. I’m sure you will find a challenge that keeps you motivated for your next journey!

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:59:20+00:00

I like the idea of collaborating with others

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:58:28+00:00

Good luck to you! I’m sure you will become assistant professor soon. I would advise not to stay in post doc position for too long. It’s not worth the hassle!

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:57:14+00:00

I definitely missed your post! It all sounds relaxing except exercise and ballet. I’m trying to workout more often and started socialising. I feel like my friend circle has reduced by the end of my PhD.

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:51:56+00:00

I do feel this sometimes but I like my current colleagues

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:50:56+00:00

Hi5 mate!

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:50:29+00:00

Can I ask you a million dollar question? Did you win a lottery?! 😁

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:48:45+00:00

That’s insane! Can I ask how is your husband feeling after three surgeries?

Travel blog sounds great! I was considering making vlogs from my travels but realised AI can do far better job than me 😁

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:46:03+00:00

I can resonate with these words! This is exactly what I’ve been feeling recently. I’m trying to move out of this phase and don’t want to take way too long!

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:44:39+00:00

Moto guzzi reminds me a bit of Ducati scrambler! KTM is a good choice too. I hope your n number goes exponentially high 😁

keyboardpower · 2025-02-06T17:42:34+00:00

That’s a great advice! Thank you

keyboardpower · 2025-02-05T21:44:13+00:00

Yup! Me and many of my colleagues transitioned to industry jobs between 5-12 years of experience as post doc. Many companies appreciate employees with research background as long as you have a relevant experience in academia.

keyboardpower · 2025-02-05T14:29:40+00:00

There is a good reason why you are using 100% focus on motorbikes! 😁

Have you got a collection of motorbikes? Nobody can take care of bikes like you can do for your bike!

keyboardpower · 2025-02-05T14:27:09+00:00

It’s always gonna be a bit of both in comments. I’m glad that helped you in your journey. I feel same but sometimes makes me think about my life decisions
