What advice would you give IO psych grad students on taking care of themselves? #IOPsychWellbeing @WorkrBeeing
— Department12 Podcast (@department12pod) March 15, 2019
Don't judge your success by how you're doing relative to others. It's hard in academia to not do that, but it is a recipe for failure. Forge your own path and don't look back!

Best advice I received as a doctoral student, "keep your own score."

Selectively say no to opportunities.

While taking care of yourself, check in on your cohort-mates. Help them take care of themselves; they’ll help take care of you.

Taking care of themselves? Is that a thing now? Grad school has changed so much… 😉

Say “no” to new projects from time to time.
— Jeff Dahlke (@JeffreyDahlke) March 15, 2019
sometimes i listen to vienna by billy joel before taking on new projects/tasks to avoid being overzealous lmao
— Sebastian Marin (@marin343) March 15, 2019
Great strategy (and song choice)

Get some sleep & try to keep a consistent schedule. It’ll be hard around finals & manuscript deadlines, but you’re so much more productive when firing on all cylinders. And I’ve noticed that a few late nights tend to turn into late mornings, and then your whole week is messed up.

Also, never underestimate the power of massage therapy. Hours hunched over your computer will wreck your shoulders/back/neck/wrists. An hour massage focused on those areas will save your soul.

You’ll learn a ton from working on other people’s projects, but you’ll get the most fulfillment from starting projects of your own. So balance both.

It was also beneficial for me to have a circle of non-grad school friends who didn't care about dissertations, classes or research (…sounds crazy, right? Who ARE these people?). It gave me permission to step away from that domain, which was refreshing.

Encourage them to actually take some time off during breaks… I am now a 5th year, but during years 1-3 I tended to think of winter break as a great time to get more work done without classes and meetings… probably not the healthiest decision
— Victoria Whitaker (@vwhit10) March 15, 2019
As a faculty, advisor and mentor, I want my students to work hard, but they must take breaks, relax. Find out what relaxes them. Over the years I have heard everything from exercise to bubble bath. And do it.

Bathe once per week whether you need to or not. Builds discipline. pic.twitter.com/2TPk0PGFXu

The only thing on your mind is nudity. I think Freud would have a good time with you.

Freud?! That yutz? I'd sooner have Hannibal Lecter as my therapist. pic.twitter.com/QVoVSzjWll

Pay attention to what leisure activities *actually* refresh you. Human beings often seem to be bad at knowing this instinctively
— Lisa Kath (@lisa_kath) March 17, 2019
Great point. Many people gravitate towards activities that we think we ought to enjoy rather than the ones we actually enjoy.

Take one night off per week, even during the busiest semesters.

Get your 8 hours of sleep every night – that all nighter’s not worth it!

Avoid yelling at your data, at least in public places. It will only stress you out and people will look at you funny. Alternatively, remember that your data does not love you back. #IOPsychWellbeing #IOPsych

Keep an eye out for depression. People who worked hard to be "the best" to get into grad school find themselves surrounded by "the best"- that can be a hard adjustment.
— Marcus Dickson (@MarcusWDickson) March 16, 2019
I didn't take care of myself that well but the awareness that many students just like me are experiencing the same frustration and struggle makes me feel much better.
— Xin.Penguin (@XinPeng2013) March 18, 2019
But more seriously, enjoy your time in the program and the people you spend it with. It’s a special camaraderie that you will be lucky if you experience again. #IOPsychWellbeing #IOPsych

Invest time in hobbies and hustles not directly related to your training.

If grad school seems to mostly be a heavy burden rather than engaging it’s probably a good time for self reflection about career direction & timing.
