I keep talking to people who are 'working all the time' - are you really? I am 6 months into my PhD, and yes I am waiting to receive ethical approval and i'm recruiting people to take part in my study - but it is not an obsene amount of work at all: 9-5. Am I underworking then? How much extra reading should I be doing - seriously, how many papers do you think is normal to read a week??? I am nervous about this one!! Help guide me!!!!
