This is a list of top books, apps, products etc. that have helped me so far and that I recommend. This page includes affiliate links (so if you buy anything, you might be buying me a beer!), but I only recommend resources I really use.
Failure
My ideas about failure have been shaped by these books:
- The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown (or any book by Brené Brown)
- Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff
- Failure: Why Science is So Successful by Stuart Firestein
Productivity
I recommend the book Getting Things Done by David Allen. I’ve blogged about how I use it here. My favorite apps for this are Todoist and Evernote.
A few other books have also been helpful:
Blogging
Blogging has helped me a lot as an early career researcher. I use WordPress for this website – it’s free and easy to setup (read my blog posts about this here and here) and host it on Bluehost.
