Abstract :
For most who do it, completing the PhD is the hardest thing they´ve ever done. There is a tendency to think that life will only get easier afterwards. The truth is that while life may get better, it doesn´t necessarily get easier. It is possible, however, to ease the transition, if you pay attention to some basic truths.
