Who am I:
My name is Zach. I’m a Resident Physician in Boston. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up, I usually learn something. Whatever I learn, I post it either on TH-cam or on 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 4,000+ that read it every other Sunday morning.

Dear zach !
Can you upload more study with me videos...
Bro how to identify pain points & position myself as the solution to recruiters concerns or problems by using loss aversion method or any fear that will motivate the interviewer to hire us directly ? Any books and practical examples to make a positive impact in upcoming interview...
Dear zach
Always Remember! You are special to me. Because of you I see a new way of my life .. 🥰
You are special to me!
Thank you so much 🤗
You study so much. I guess you are very smart
Zack, u r a wonderful doctor & your videos r great. For some of us they r like fairy tales as we r not lucky as you in life. U r blessed with good looks, r privileged, with rich supporting parents, r white, not having many struggles in life, straight (life is very unkind for LGBT folks) with possibly a nice girlfriend, r physically & mentally fit. My comment isn't negative or jealous. Just poured my heart out. Your videos give me joy, like watching a lucky charming prince. May God bless u.
Thanks for watching!
🎉🎉 we need vlogs too
Coming coming
I don't know if you actually read these, but here's an interesting scenario/question for you:
You said we should listen to our circadian rhythms, but they can be tweaked some.
The circadian rhythm and diurnal rhythms are linked...
Any thoughts for those of us with Addison's disease? Our diurnal rhythm is obliterated, and therefore so is the circadian. Even when we are able to regulate via taking our steroid doses at exactly the same time every day (this is rarely sustainable because life is a thing that happens, so it's a frequent fight), we still run into the issue where our cortisol isn't spiking around 30 minutes after waking... it's hours later.
Which then also begs the question of how much longer our sleep inertia lasts on the whole. When is our brain reach full wakefulness (if ever)?
A lot of us feel like the walking dead.
Those of us that also have celiac disease (like myself) have all of these difficulties amplified. This is especially true in situations where said individual's celiac disease isn't controlled. Corticosteroids are lipid soluble, and celiac disease is a lipid absorption disease, so we absorb less steroid and at variable rates.
I'm hoping this is a scenario that really gets your brain meats working, or even just excited.
For the record: I'm a straight-A student.
Thanks for the vids, I've really been enjoying them.
one question
what is the name of this keyboard the white one you use
Star Wars is amazing.
Have you ever read The Case Against Education by Bryan Caplan? Seems to me if everyone took the advice only the genetic component would differentiate students since slots in desirable positions be it jobs or school are rival goods. This would likely result in tons of human capital waste, but I guess that’s already the case.
I’m have not watched the video yet, but how can I study 12 hours a day if the school schedule is 8am-18pm? It’s impossibile 😂
Do you think studying 10 sessions/day, 1 hour long each session is too much ? I am currently studying for the MCAT.
Is it better to sleep 7 hrs or to make sure the sleep cycles are done (meaning 1.5h per cycle, meaning either 6 or 7.5 hrs)?
I use an app (they aren’t paying me anything) called sleep cycle, that wakes you up at lightest stage of sleep because yea i think it’s best to wake up after your last REM stage is completed so i usually set my awake time in 90 min cycles (7.5 hours or 9 hours) with a 30 minute buffer for falling asleep
Hi Zach, I’m currently going through my exams to get into university but find it really hard to wind down during study breaks. How do you advise we spend this time between breaks? Thank you!
Hey! I have another video on this here, let me know what you think: th-cam.com/video/Bxjv-VA-SDA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K_XfLmjKuG_znIVn
@@ZachHighleythis was super helpful thank you so much!
Hi we miss u zach
right hereeee
But when do you stop spending money? After you maxed out student loans? I was debt free before med school. Now I am maxed out on loans. What next?
The money spend for study resources is usually marginal compared to the money people spend on tuition; i would spend the money and worry about a good job / side hustle to pay that back later
It's been a month I've lost my efficiency..... I'm trying to regain it but i end up not being productive again.....can you please tell me what should I do
So there’s this great video you should watch
@@ZachHighley Surely is it on yr channel?
But sir, I’m already doing all of this, I have for a while. But see I can only do 3 hours, on a good day!!! What do I do???
All good! 3 hours of good work is much better than 12 hours of bad work, just slowly try and increase your time!
I'll give you a better one
What is study?
I wish i had Achivable goals too lol
HOW TO STUDY WELL?
1. Remove distractions
2. Set Smart goals?
3. Use multiple streams of information, to pick the best ones
4. Invest in your educational resources
5. Find your 'why' you are studying
6. Grit: Perseverence & Passion. 4 stages: Interest, Practice, Purpose, Hope
7. Put in the work and time
8. Prime your brain to study
9. Use active study techniques
10. Rise earlier
Thanks King 👑
To all the haters. Would you go to a doctor who studied 12 hours a day or one that studied a few hours.
tbf they're both a doctor
thanks for the support!
If you're studying that much you aren't studying effectively. Also you probably don't have kids or a good work like balance.
❤
12 hours! one can't get an hour back. I would say see what you can do in 4. That would force one to optimize and design techniques that work. Why would any one want to study for 12 hours per day. Imagine the difference between paying extra and investing. There are opportunity, and more importantly time costs. We only have 1 life. Don't spend a dollar's worth of time chasing a dime.
👏👏👏👏
Because medicine is tough. , regular exams forces us to have this system of studying . It’s not really about choice , the course is vast
It's right what you're saying but a lot of fields need that from you like medicine and other very competitive and tough exams
Thanks for not studying 12 hours a day, I'll be better than you
@@readsomebooks4506 By studying 2 hours a day!
Went from studying 2 hours to studying 12 hours.
YOH
HO
Not sure about that Smart goal. It's so vague and give no instructions for you to follow. Would it not be more immediate. Like: "I will go over this chapter for the next 90 minutes without distractions." Maybe That is something else, but I don't see the benefit of vague long term goals.
Really informative video! thanks for those wonderful insights @ZachHighley :)
Thank youuuuu
@@ZachHighley You're welcome!
Man Utd spent more money being unsuccessful than they did in their most successful era 😂😂😂 but I hear you
Alex Hormozi talks about the effects of reading text and listening to the audio version simultaneously.
Leveraging multiple senses with more than one stream enhances learning.
😊
Thanks for watching!
You are very welcome 😊
thats football not soccer
How dare you
❤❤❤❤❤
I know for a fact this guy doesn't study 12 hours a day, because he's a resident physician and residents work close to 80 hours a week for many specialties. WHY do we have to have so much clickbait in our culture? Just be honest about the time you study. Even if it's 6 hours a day that's still really impressive.
I agree no way this guy studies 12 hours a day
Hey man , are you angry at me??
Why do you need to study 12h a day? Clearly your techniques are ineffective - that you cannot ensure good retention and encoding within efficient time. You take up so much of your time to study and sacrifice other parts of your life.
Fair points! I usually don’t study 12 hours a day but when I need to these are the techniques I use
It's astonishingly inhuman how almost no one is talking about the fact that it's evil, dangerous and inhuman for humans to work like an artificial machine- it's totally against the body and mind and also the good of humanity. Well, all philosophy aside- I myself work like a machine all day. Also, study hacks and certain techniques that people use are too unoriginal, made up and artificial. In the contemporary, well, not just in present but in past as well- condition has been so and if not then at least similar. Human beings are doomed and chaos on Earth will never end.
This is a joke right, why tf would anyone study this much 😂
When you have a goal that you care for, you put on the effort to achieve it.
Because it's enjoyable.
I still want for islam video
