(comic) Great expectations

Learn how not to say YES to things.

It's important to celebrate successes. Getting a paper accepted is a big deal. Do something to reward yourself. Give yourself a treat. Go out for lunch. Take some time off. #PhDforum #EMCRforum #gradschool #research

The #ImposterSyndrome Despite all the evidence that you are going well, you can still feel like an imposter. And sometimes the better you do, the worse the imposter syndrome becomes. There is more to be exposed. More attention focussed on you. Work Chronicles

Beware of all those little imposter voices. @PhDcomics #impostersyndrome #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc

In the #impostersyndrome we discount what we know and inflate what we think other people know. You know more than you think. Others know less than you think. You're not an imposter. #impostersyndrome #phdchat #ECRchat #PhdForum

Know your imposter moments: - Your first lecture - A new role - Writing - When you make a mistoke These might make you feel like an imposter but they don't mean you are one. #PhDForum #gradschool

Mis-attribution: We attribute our success to: - good luck - the job was easy - other people - hard work as opposed to ability #Impostersyndrome #PhDforum #EMCRforum #research From the book: buff.ly/2m9RArr

When have you felt like a fraud? - Conferences? - First lecture? - First day of PhD, post-doc, new role? - Winning an award? - Interview? - Applying? From a new workshop: What research supervisors need to know about the imposter syndrome.

The imposter syndrome can start on day 1. We’ve heard great things about you. We’re expecting great things from you. You’re lucky to be here. We only accept the best. We’re lucky to have you. From the workshop: What research supervisors need to know about the imposter syndrome.

An imposter moment. Let's go around and introduce ourselves. Everyone else sounds so qualified and so confident. You're not sure you should even be here. But they think you're so qualified and look so confident too.

Most people in academia feel like an imposter at some point. But feeling like an imposter does not mean you are an imposter. Look at the facts. @phdcomics #impostersyndrome

#ImposterSyndrome: Tip 5. Create a fact file. Make a list of facts and positives that you can use to counter your imposter doubts. When you are having an imposter moment you often can't remember the positives. So have them written down ready to go. From: buff.ly/2m9RArr

The weekend is near. Time to rest and regenerate. Then come back next week with more energy to tackle next week's issues. It's OK to have time out. It will make you more efficient and definitely more sustainable.
