Dear reader,

Most PhD students have trouble finding interesting results. A fate worth lamenting. My problem is on the other side of the spectrum, but no less real for it. In January 2017 I achieved some spectacular results in my research. Since then, I have been unable to get any meaningful results whatsoever.

I do not aim to explain my PhD research, nor the achieved results. I want you to know that my lack of follow-up is not due to a lack of threads to follow up on. Rather, it is the opposite again - Too many roads lie open before me, and I feel like I am expected to follow up on every single one. Between my daily supervisor, my professor or the company that financed the project, everyone seems certain my focus should be, especially, on everything.

I simply want to put the question out there; "Did this happen to anyone else?". Can any of you relate to the feeling of inadequacy that stems from getting lucky on finding results, but apparently lacking the scientific quality to follow up on them?

Thank you for reading my post. I appreciate any feedback.

Regards,
Callous
