Working full-time as an academic means my PhD-productivity spikes in June - August 😎. So, struggling with my data analysis this summer gave me my first PhD breakdown 😭 - 5 years in, so good going I think! With my motivation at an all time low, having the EMDoc conference presentation to focus on was a welcome break from analysis. The opening keynote, the variety of research talks and the comments/questions about my PhD (combined with a recent reassuring supervision) was exactly what I needed to propel me from my slump of 'I can't do this!' I used the breaks to write in my reflexivity journal 📓, as I always learn more talking to others more about my research. This was only my second external presentation about my PhD - I should do it more! 🤗
