      Hi MichaelJS. I would say time management and prioritising. As you can read from my profile, I do many sorts of things. I’m more of ‘do a bit of that, try a bit of that’ kind of person – and this makes me prone to distraction. My attitude in life is that it’s too short, so I try to live a life rich in experience and adventures. And sometimes, with this attitude, it can be really difficult which one to prioritise. Another that makes it more challenging is that I have a self-imposed rule of not doing anything work-related during weekends (not even my PhD). That forces me to be as productive as I can during weekdays – which can be really stressful. Please don’t be like me and be more structured and humane with your time management and prioritising!

      Good luck with your studies! 😃
