LIFE LESSONS

EPISODE 10: LIFE LESSONS In this episode of 'A Postdoc's Journal', I read a journal entry from December 2013. This is the fist time I started asking the pivotal question that changed my life: "Should the way I work to suit the job? Or change the job to suit the way I like to work?" I discuss how this question has guided my career choices until this day and I share some ideas about how to be kind to yourself. 00:00 Introduction to the Postdocs Journal 02:40 Journal Entry 06:27 Mixed feeling about this entry 07:41 The most important life lesson I've learned 13:20 I thought there was something wrong with the way I was working 14:42 Being told that I wasn't performing well enough 17:00 How to be kind to yourself 19:38 Adult loneliness 21:43 Outro For more information about the podcast and for my contact information, please visit https://a-postdocs-journal.captivate.fm/ Please leave a review on Apple podcasts or Podchaser Follow me on...
