Read our Grad School Survival Guide
#GRADBOSS is the grad school survival guide that you wish you had before you started grad school. But it’s also for current grad students. The book is jam-packed with practical tips, truths, and templates that can be implemented RIGHT NOW.
The topics inside of the book were suggested by current grad students!
I asked my community of grad students what they thought a grad school survival guide should include. And I wrote about exactly what they recommended.
Here’s what’s inside:
A behind the scenes look at how I survived getting a PhD in Mathematics.
Time management tips, tricks, and secrets.
The hidden benefits of accountability.
9 practical ways to make friends in grad school.
The ultimate guide to productivity in grad school.
How to reduce imposter syndrome early in your grad school career.
How to choose a research advisor that you will be compatible with.
How to maximize meetings with your advisor.
2 myths about work/life balance in grad school.
How to create a productive weekly schedule in grad school.
Enroll in Project Management for Academics!
Have you ever struggled with time management?
The combination of multiple responsibilities, sporadic deadlines, and last minute email reminders make it nearly impossible to feel like your schedule is under control as an academic.
And it can be so difficult to keep everything organized and stay motivated with all of the “free time” we have.
In my framework, Project Management for Academics, I walk you through how to manage all components of your life by getting a bird’s eye view of the major aspects of your life (spaces) and slowly zooming in to the day to day tasks to help you intentionally make progress toward your goals.
In Project Management for Academics, I’ll help you break down your goals into projects, workflows, and tasks through my project management framework. Then I will show you how to IMPLEMENT it in a paper planner as well as online project management tools, Trello and Asana.

Make Money in Academia Mini Course
Have you thought about starting a side hustle to help fund the life you want as an academic?
I inadvertently started my first side hustle when I was a grad student and discovered blogging. I started my blog with all intentions of it just being a hobby. Because I noticed that I had stopped doing things “just for fun”. You know how grad school is...so demanding and all consuming. It takes over your life! Can you relate?
As it turns out, this was just the beginning for me! Learning about business became a major hobby of mine. I’ve learned a lot about side hustling since starting The Academic Society over 3 years ago and I want to share what I’ve learned with you!
In the Make Money in Academia Mini Course, how to create a business plan, determine what products/services you want to sell, gain the confidence to focus on what serves you and, of course, learn how to MAKE MONEY IN ACADEMIA!
Whether you already have a side hustle, an idea for a side hustle, or want to start a side hustle in the future, you’ll enjoy the Make Money in Academia Mini Course.
