硕士阶段接近尾声,我对科研的兴趣减退,动力也越发不足,创造力也逐渐下降。花那么多时间和精力做实验、写论文、上课,让我整个人都很沮丧,懒懒散散的,对自己的研究领域几乎完全失去了兴趣——人还变得易怒,跟人交往时动不动就发脾气。
Over time, I learnt from these experiences. When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time off, and made personal happiness a priority in my weekly schedule. My mentor and I discussed my work–life balance early in my program, and we arranged our lab responsibilities accordingly.
后来我从过往经历中汲取了教训。开始读博的时候,我就注意平衡学术研究跟个人休息之间的关系,我把个人的愉悦感摆在周计划中很重要的位置。刚一开学,我就跟导师讨论了工作和生活的平衡,我俩还依此商定了实验室工作职责。
I set boundaries for myself in new ways: rather than doing lab work all weekend, I’d play football or the violin, or visit loved ones, before ‘allowing’ myself to work for a few hours. This was hard at first: I worried that it would affect my standing with my peers and superiors. But I had learnt from experience that an overloaded schedule can drain you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details.
我还在生活中划定了新的界限:不能整个周末都待在实验室,要踢足球,要拉小提琴,或者去看望家人和恋人,之后可以“允许”自己工作几小时。刚开始这么做的时候感觉挺难的:我担心会影响我在领导和同事心中的形象。但我的经验告诉我,工作计划太满只会榨干你,然后你的注意力就很难集中,犯错和忘记重要细节就在所难免。
