Hi everyone! I’m a 2nd year PhD STEM student (UK based) and was wondering if my working hours are enough. (I work from home and only go in for my bi-weekly meetings)
Schedule:
Monday to Friday 9:00am-3:30pm
I’m not sure if I’m working enough. I mean I’m not behind on any work that is due and besides my supervisor is very hands off which makes me feel lost most of the times which doesn’t help as well.
Are my working hours acceptable? What do you guys thinks?
Appreciate the answers!

Spend less time worrying about the hours that you’re working, and more time focusing on goals and milestones.
Some weeks are heavier in the PhD, some are lighter. A schedule is nice to have, and if it’s working for you, then that’s great. But it’s kind of a terrible metric for evaluating progress and performance.
I wish I had that schedule 😤
