Abstract	[Introduction]: This reflection provides advice for surviving the trials and tribulations associated with doing doctoral studies. It is not intended as an 'everything you ever wanted to know' paper, that would take many more words and time! It could have been entitled, 'questions that need to be answered, decisions that need to be made, and tips to help you conquer the doctoral journey'. It might also have been labelled 'helping yourself, family and friends survive a doctorate, while maintaining your sanity and sense of humour'. Both titles reflect some of what you are likely to encounter along the doctoral path. It has been almost ten years since my own journey ended, but recalling the experience and writing this paper, caused some of the anxieties and challenges associated with the whole process (which had for sanity's sake been relegated to the distant recesses of my memory), to become incredibly real and fresh again. The reality is each journey is different, but hopefully the tips provided herein, which are by no means intended to represent an exhaustive list, will prove useful.
