My PhD Research Area Is Boring As $&@!

I've reached a point where I feel bored and uninspired by my PhD research area. This happens to everyone who stays long enough.

But rather than abandoning it, I've discovered that changing my perspective can reignite my passion.

By looking at your work through a different angle or lens, you can uncover new and interesting facets you hadn't noticed before.

Don’t be afraid to abandon questions and ask absurd new ones.

It's about being willing to adapt to your environment and circumstances, and finding flexibility in your approach.

What do you do to keep inspired?
