Someone more senior than me gave me the toxic advice to “just do more things” a while ago. I think about that advice a lot. This week I’ve literally only been at work or asleep. I don’t want to do more things.https://twitter.com/Research_Tim/status/1024108733327175681 …

That's so unhelpful. First of all, unless they're your supervisor they don't judge what you should / should not be doing, and second of all, even if they are your supervisor, they should trust you to know what you have time and energy for. I'm sure you're doing plenty.

This was someone who is also a friend. His attempt was to be helpful when I expressed being stressed about a future in academia and how competitive and difficult it is to secure “permanent” positions.

It is difficult, but it is also possible to be a competitive candidate without killing yourself in the process!

Well...don't die at least :P. Your project sounds way more exhausting than most and there's only so much we can do on a PhD

Sure, you’d just wish that after all this work there was some kind of recognition other than the degree. I guess I just have to figure out how to market myself

Yeah, true. Marketing yourself is probably half the battle. You can do it :)

In a world of true meritocracy, doing more would be good. That world doesn't exist.
