I saw this very good advice and thought about what would have been the guidance I would have got when I was doing my PhD, in my time and place. Probably this one. https://twitter.com/wgervais/status/953955260846039041 …pic.twitter.com/FVJyzhTYO9

Are you saying that you should have worked 84 hours a week back then, or that current PhD students should be working that much, or both?
12 hours a day of actual sit at computer work is brutal. The security guards here at UCL work 12 hour shifts — I worry they don't see their kids. Thinking about science or talking about it for like 3 or 4 plus working 8 or so at the computer isn't too bad.
I would never say anybody should do 12 hours at the computer though unless it's some emergency and they tell me it's needed.
I think the very good advice Esther was referring to is in the linked tweet. The one in the picture is what she’d have received back when she was in grad school. That’s how i read her tweet at least.
Yes, indeed 
Yeah, I should have clarified that I understood the same as you @zerdeve but I forgot to.
Aha!
BTW since we're here friends outside work has been a thing that never happened for me. This isn't meant to be a value judgement either way, but my close friends are in science in the same field pretty much and I love them. Without you all, I'd be nothing. 
That's in reference to number 3 in list above.
I am an introvert and I came to science to find you all (amongst other things). 
That’s largely true for me as well. I have a few friends outside science, but they’re mostly nerdy/geeky folk I met online or through the tech scene.
