    Hey guys! Time management seems more and more important the older I get. I have started a TH-cam channel and a website during medical school without sacrificing grades, fitness or sleep with these nine strategies.

    Who am I:
    My name is Zach. I’m a third-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on TH-cam or my website 🌐 (zhighley.com/).
    I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Join the 1500+ that follow it every week!

    "perform" is the most difficult step. planning things out is always easier because most of the time you want to do those things, at least ideally. But when the time comes to actually do the thing, you may feel tired, exhausted, distracted, overwhelmed, etc etc, which is what makes carrying out the plans so difficult.

And actually I've been enjoying your content very much during these past few weeks (I was having my finals) even though I'm going to be a primary school teacher your tips have helped me reach the best scores in my course! Especially flashcards. I still write them out by hand, it takes time but for these final exams it did the job. I'm excited to try anki for the next year! And also, I wanted to ask, do you have summer breaks? Do you rest during them or still review your flashcards? Sending greetings from Lithuania!

    At least to me, I only find this good advice if you’re life situation requires you to be maximally time efficient to meet your goals. You Zach, are in that category and are doing a great job of maximizing your time. This video is a fantastic explanation of the strategy that allows you to do what you demand of yourself.
    However, most people aren’t in this position. I’m a fairly productive person. It’s great to have goals and build healthy habits. But on the flip side, there is great value in relaxation and spontaneity in life. Most people won’t be able to hold themselves to this extreme standard and will be left feeling like they never achieved enough. Time to do nothing is a priority for me. And I believe most people would find it equally valuable.

    • @aesyamazeli8804
      @aesyamazeli8804 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      All these advices are for people who don't have fulfilling life yet, and trying to achieve it. For example, I know a lot of mothers who their children is their whole fulfillment, their pride and their joy thus these kind of things are not needed for them. Some people are just lucky to achieve thier happiness early in life.
