I wanted to share my more recent organisation and note-taking approach as it's something I think about a lot at the moment and still use avidly in my day-to-day life and work. Link to Protolyst here: www.protolyst.org Quick stats. I finished my PhD in 3.5 years. I wrote 5 papers (and 1 paper that never got published) in 18 months starting ~in year 2 of the PhD. My final thesis write up took 4 weeks. My viva (thesis defence) took 1 hour (but I hated it :') ) Very happy to answer any questions! ---A bit about me now---- 🚀 I'm the CEO and founder of a company called Spin Up Science (www.spin-up.science).
