Hi there, I am starting now my second year and I understand so well the imposter syndrome. I have a really big problem of comparing myself to others, but it's not only at a PhD level, it is also at a cultural and social level, which makes me quite depressed and 'inside my shelf' sometimes. Because I'm portuguese and most people from my work are english, there are many ocasions that I don't undestand what they are saying, particularly the jokes -and I'm also a veryyy distracted person. But I think that my distraction is in part because I'm always with negative thoughts, always with my inner voice that does not allow me to relaxx and pay attention to people.
Other big problem are my organisation skills that are terrible, I always feel that my work is a mess and that is never ready to show to anyone, not even my supervisor, which my the way is not very present,he is a very busy man, and we have to figure things out by ourselves. I have started making a plan of my PhD, making a list of things to do and cross what it's done. Hopefully it will help. But I would be very grateful if someone could advise me about organisation skills for data, time management and everyday life in the lab.
