Any medical school student will tell you that everyday time is of the essence! From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep you want to have a game plan in mind. Personally, I found that an hourly planner works best for me. It allows me to keep track of each lecture, clinical skill meetings, and important dates. If I did not have a planner I don't know what I would do!
When I get into the library I like coming up with a to-do list of things I want to accomplish and I write it down on a sticky note. This way I can be most efficient with my time. At the end of each week I like to reflect on what worked the best for me and what I can adjust to have a more productive upcoming week.
It's also important to pinpoint when your brain is most alert. Some people study better late at night, others study better early in the morning. I like getting a head start on the day and waking up early; I feel more prepared to take on the day.
But life happens. Things don't always go according to plan. I may not accomplish everything in one day but I'm okay with that. There's always tomorrow. The main thing is staying focused on your goal, working hard, and putting forth your best effort!
Happy Studies!
