Suppose you're heading into qualifying exams, aka portfolio defense or a written summarization of what you've learned. In that case, you're probably juggling notes, deadlines, working, etc., and a general sense that there’s always something else to do. One simple thing that can make the whole process feel lighter is putting together your doctoral portfolio site early. Instead of thinking of it as another task, think of it as a space to anchor everything you've built so far.
