No overwhelm. No pressure. Just a gentle weekly nudge toward feeling steadier and working with more ease.

Our colourful mix of insights might just make you say, "Huh, I never thought of it that way!" 

A calmer, more sustainable way to get things done in your research life — without losing yourself along the way.

Most PhD students think they have a productivity problem.

But often, it’s actually a wellbeing problem in disguise — focus slipping because your brain is overloaded, feeling behind no matter how hard you work, guilt for resting, or a mind that simply won’t switch off.

Every week, I share a gentle, evidence-informed note on how to make meaningful progress in your research while supporting your wellbeing.

You’ll receive insights on:

  • Managing overwhelm and mental load
  • Finding focus when your mind feels scattered
  • Creating momentum without burning out
  • Building habits that support both clarity and energy
  • Navigating the emotional side of research life
  • Returning to a state that feels steady, intentional, and sustainable

Because research life is complex — but how you feel in it doesn’t have to be.

What you'll find in your inbox:

  • The Weekly Research Recharge: A brief, grounding email with practical insights you can use straight away.
  • Occasional additional updates about our Research Masterminds Success Academy and other opportunities
  • BONUS: Immediate access to two supportive AI tools (Timebox Buddy for Research and the Acknowledgement Companion) to help lighten your cognitive load.
