吃喝攻略|博导神总结：读博失败的10个“作死”大法！切勿容易尝试( 二 )


By the end of the third year, a typical Ph.D. student needs to have read about 50 to 150 papers to defend the novelty of a proposed thesis.Of course, some students go too far with the related work search, reading so much about their intended area of research that they never start that research.Advisors will lose patience with "eternal" students that aren"t focused on the goal--making a small but significant contribution to human knowledge.
In the interest of personal disclosure, I suffered from the "want to learn everything" bug when I got to Ph.D. school.I took classes all over campus for my first two years: Arabic, linguistics, economics, physics, math and even philosophy. In computer science, I took lots of classes in areas that had nothing to do with my research.The price of all this "enlightenment" was an extra year on my Ph.D.
I only got away with this detour because while I was doing all that, I was a TA, which meant I wasn"t wasting my advisor"s grant funding.
完美主义
3Expect perfectiont
在学术界 ， 完美主义可以说是一种悲剧性的折磨 ， 由于它往往对最智慧的那群人打击最大 。 你永远无法做到完美 ， 最多无穷接近 。 有同学经常对一篇研究论文的打磨远远超过了收益递减点 ， 他们不断追求完美 ， 永远不停的润色、打磨 。
想在规划出完美的论文结构之后才能开始下笔的同学 ， 永远下不去笔 。
对于刚开始写论文或在写作中碰到题目的同学 ， 我的建议是：写论文应该是一个反复修改、不断琢磨的过程 。
从研究的提纲和一些粗略的笔记开始着手进行 ， 然后在此基础上不断修改、迭代、打磨 ， 然后不断重复这一过程 。 当在这个过程中文章的变化越来越小时 ， 它就到达了收益递减点 。 在这一点上 ， 它只需要再通过一两次修改即可完工了 。
在论文的写作中“足够好”远远赛过“完美” 。
Perfectionism is a tragic affliction in academia, since it tends to hit the brightest the hardest.Perfection cannot be attained. It is approached in the limit.Students that polish a research paper well past the point of diminishing returns, expecting to hit perfection, will never stop polishing.Students that can"t begin to write until they have the perfect structure of the paper mapped out will never get started.
For students with problems starting on a paper or dissertation, my advice is that writing a paper should be an iterative process: start with an outline and some rough notes; take a pass over the paper and improve it a little; rinse; repeat. When the paper changes little with each pass, it"s at diminishing returns. One or two more passes over the paper are all it needs at that point.
"Good enough" is better than "perfect".
拖延症
4Procrastinate
慢性完美主义者往往也是拖延症患者 。 那些“志向弘远”的热爱学习、而不是搞研究的学生往往都有拖延症 。 读博士好像对所有拖延症患者都有极强地吸引力 ， 不幸的是 ， 它同时也像是一个筛子 ， 淘汰了那些效率低下的研究生 。 拖延症患者应该看看我写的关于提高效率的建议 。
Chronic perfectionists also tend to be procrastinators. So do eternal students with a drive to learn instead of research.Ph.D. school seems to be a magnet for every kind of procrastinator.Unfortunately, it is also a sieve that weeds out the unproductive.Procrastinators should check out my tips for boosting productivity.
