⭐ Don't forget to celebrate progress, BIG or small ⭐ In academia, we often wait for big wins, such as publishing a paper, securing a grant, or completing a project, to celebrate our achievements. But every step we take matters, and those small milestones deserve recognition, too. Whether it's submitting a manuscript, supervising a student, or simply starting/progressing on a difficult task: take time to reflect & celebrate these moments! It can help keep us motivated and remind us of the process that shapes us as scientists. So, don't only focus on reaching the goal (and then setting another one directly after), but also acknowledge the journey! I'll do one today: I just submitted a COST Action proposal with >30 proposers from 20 countries. While the outcome has to wait for another 6 months, this moment feels like a victory in itself. Will celebrate the teamwork and dedication tonight with going out for dinner! 👉 TLDR: take a moment to celebrate the small wins in your (academic journey), as they are building blocks of the bigger success!
