I am not the perfect adviser. There are days I would say that I am not even very good. I get busy or distracted, and I have to trust that the program will still remain intact if I have to take a mental health day. There’s just the one of me. I have to trust that the days where the kids got the best of me will win out, that the systems in place will keep us going.
So this post is about those systems.
I don’t take credit for most of these. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend workshops and rub shoulders with advisers that are pretty amazing. The collection is a mix of their insight and examples, personalized back to my program. I hope they are helpful, or that they might inspire a system that helps in your program.
