Waiting-For List

Many PhD delays happen while you wait for someone else: feedback, approvals, data, replies. Give each one a follow-up date so nothing sits forgotten in someone's inbox.

How to use it
  • Add an item the moment you send a request or hand work to someone.
  • If you don't know when to expect a reply, ask, or assume two weeks.
  • Check this list every week. When a follow-up date arrives, send a short, specific reminder.
