Solo Session: How your Hobbies can help progress your PhD?

Mar 11, 2026 • S02 E21 • 00:03:56

Students and Graduates!

Many PhD researchers treat hobbies as optional, a luxury to be postponed until after deadlines ease. The reality is the opposite: a modest, regular hobby can make the hard work of a doctorate more creative, sustainable, and social.

In this solo session, I show why and how hobbies are significant for the progression of your PhD journey. I share the following three reasons:

—> Balance;

—> Social Skills;

—> Reminisce lost joys.

Whatever hobby you have that fulfil after hard days of research, the point is not to add pressure. It is to choose small, repeatable habits that return more energy than they cost.

Thank you all for tuning in, it has been a pleasure!
