“Why do we fall, Bruce?”

I would say this is a milestone in my thinking and approach to my PhD. I can not do everything, that’s not how research works and that’s not how life works. I’m not failing by asking for help, I’m deferring to those with the skills to do it so I can focus on the areas that are developing my skills. Trying to do it all myself is just going to get in the way of me getting anything done.

The most common question.

Perhaps I shouldn’t be seeing “What Next?” as a negative question, but as a positive. I’m keen to work out where to go after I’ve completed each task on my to-do list. I can dwell on the issues of figuring out “What Next?” or I can flip that around and realise that this is how I’m going to move forward. If I’m not thinking about “What Next?”, then what am I doing and where am I going?
