Were you able to “share the load” (so to say) in some capacity with your PhD and research?
I was, I started working with a colleague and I got a research assistant which really did a lot of a difference. It was very motivating to have another mind looking at the same problems and finding them interesting/challenging, plus I could focus more on the things that were most interesting to me by outsourcing some tasks.
And I think I don’t have to do much else than just scheduling a meeting every two weeks or so to make it enjoyable and fun, at least for me that is all that is needed.
