Along with Kasia Zdanowicz, who is an engineer and researcher, we have developed a bespoke planner for PhD students. A unique combination of calendar and productivity tools, its layout is structured weekly across a two-page spread, with space after each week for project planning, notes and tasks. Additionally, it features extra pages dedicated to thesis planning, conference activities, deep work tracker and quarterly progress reports to help PhD students stay right on track throughout the academic year.
