some of my fav advice for grad students: remember you are there to learn Not to impress, prove, or compete focusing on learning, rather than performance, as the main goal can help reduce stress, anxiety, & fear (e.g. about “looking dumb” asking needed question)

advice from grad school that I still use as an asst. prof. is to schedule my tasks based on my energy & self-awareness, not some idealized schedule e.g. noticing what types of tasks I do best at what points in the day (energy) & what works best for my needs & goals (self-aware)
