Kelly McGonigal: How to Turn Stress Into an Advantage
Kelly McGonigal: How to Turn Stress Into an Advantage
In her book, The Upside of Stress, McGonigal asks, “If you could choose how stressful tomorrow will be, would you hope for a great deal of stress?” Our natural response is likely a resounding “No.” Yet, as McGonigal shows, a subtle shift in perspective around stress can be incredibly empowering. By reframing stress as a good thing and a sign of personal progress, we can avoid some of the baggage that comes with becoming stressed and actually turn our anxious feelings into a source of strength.

Laziness Does Not Exist
I've been a psychology professor since 2012. I've witnessed students of all ages procrastinate on papers, skip presentation days, and miss assignments. None of them were lazy. Ever.

Managing Reading Workloads

Reading at postgraduate level is not just about reading and committing it to memory, it is about reading and thinking about what you have just read. It is about forming your own analytical skills; forming your own academic opinion.

One of the differences between postgraduate and undergraduate study is the amount and depth of reading. You will never be able to read everything available, therefore you need to learn how to read efficiently and effectively.

How can I balance work, life and study as a postgraduate student?
How can I balance work, life and study as a postgraduate student?
We hear a lot about work-life balance in the media. There are articles on how to find it, some that question whether it even exists and others insisting that as we get older an unbalanced life may actually be best. Whatever your view, it’s hard to deny that ‘finding balance’ has become a modern-day 'Holy Grail'. Trying to find that elusive balance between study, full-time work, and family and personal commitments, can seem overwhelming at times.

6 Ways to Deal with Postgraduate Stress
6 Ways to Deal with Postgraduate Stress

If you’re feeling anxious or stressed about your postgraduate study, you’re certainly not alone. In fact a study in the journal Medical Education said that mental health problems in need of treatment during the postgraduate year were reported by nearly 20% of students, with no gender difference – and lots of that is attributed to stress. Many will wonder where this stress comes from, while others won’t even realise they’re suffering. Here's some tips to help minimise your stresses.

And if you feel like you can't manage this yourself, you should talk to your mentor/lecturer or the student councillor who will be able to help.

7 Steps to Breaking the ‘Perfectionism, Procrastination, Paralysis’ Cycle
7 Steps to Breaking the ‘Perfectionism, Procrastination, Paralysis’ Cycle
Whether that perfectionism stems from a fear of judgment or judgments you have of yourself, the anxiety likes to convince you that if you can’t do everything and do it perfectly? You should probably do nothing at all. But inevitably, there comes a point when that avoidance has gone on for far too long — and just when it’s time to pull it together? You freeze. And along comes anxiety’s best friend: shame. Shame wants to constantly remind you that the task didn’t get done, only reinforcing your perfectionism… and perpetuating the cycle.
