You need the structure and accountability that a degree program like this helps to build, including meaningful mentorship and collaboration with other researchers outside your field. We are our own worst enemies when it comes to managing our time and setting feasible personal goals and expectations. A program such as this can create something of a research career driving lane to keep you focused and on track with where you are, what information you need to move forward, and where you need to go.
