    I remember watching a video about the importance of making your bed as told by military instructors and I think it kind of relates to what you're saying in that it gets the ball rolling on whatever tasks you have for the rest of the day by accomplishing something small.

    Ah the timing couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you Mo for your great advice all along. I have been following your videos closely for years, your tips and textbook recommendations and it has served me well.. finishing up second year med school in a few months.
    And many Congratulations on getting into Neurology residency! Very well deserved.. you're going to make an amazing physician! :)
    Best, always.

    Some good info but too much rambling overall.
    Since many of us are already procrastinating watching this instead of studying, we need something quick to motivate us to go back to studying.

  • @jaylynn4160
    @jaylynn4160 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Saying this from my burner account because of the sensitive content. However, I use walking my dog as my cue and after a 10-12 hour study day I reward myself by indulging in Mary Jane. I know it's not sustainable up to clinicals but for now it's working. I think this way to do things is very useful, it ALMOST makes me excited to study.

    • @thekellann
      @thekellann 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Don't listen to those other people. You do what you want. Not everyone can or wants to be a doctor and you shouldn't let people persuade you to do anything. Becoming a doctor is a huge career choice and path. It's not as easy as just "go further and finish it, who cares!". Obviously people who say that are doing it for the money and not for the passion otherwise they wouldn't make it out to be like it's easy and everyone should just do it instead of being a nurse. Nurses are great and very appreciated. Why spend way more time and money on becoming a doctor if that's not your passion? good luck! :)

    • @MaeradOfPellinor
      @MaeradOfPellinor 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Seriously don't listen to people asking why you don't do med school instead...being a nurse and being a doctor are extremely different jobs. It's about the equivalent of asking why you're not going to be a marine biologist instead...they're just different things, and you should go with whatever you feel the most called to. Plus, some of the best people I know are nurses :)

    I recently moved universities and I'm finding hard to study at the new library , were as in the old university i had a specific place i used to go everyday to study and it was much more efficient/easier to start studying.
    Now i know why i have trouble studying, and the solution to it.

    Great vid, doc! My brother bought the book you're talking about and said it's great. I've heard from many other people that it's life changing.
    I'd also like to add that a good reward for situations like this is writing down what our end goal is and WHY we are trying to accomplish the specific goal. Then reading it everyday right before we start studying (or doing whatever other activity) we are trying to do is a great way to add this routine into our "cue." This can work by looking at the reminder in the form of a screensaver on our smartphones, on a sticky note we stick onto a wall in our room or desk, or on our laptops. When we're in the middle of trying to follow a routine and get unmotivated it's always a great reminder to remember why we started in the first place and how good it will feel when we reach our end goal.
    Thanks for tips in the video, they were helpful! God bless!

    The reward I would really like to have everyday while I make these habits, is buy many foods 😍😂 If I procastinate then no snacks for a day 😂 Thank you, you really helped me alot. I'm currently studying Accounting and procatinating is always tempting so I always end up not doing anything and not seriously studying because of the habit of procastination that I've created. But I really want to change that, 'cause if I don't do it now. I might regret it especially when I'm thinking about on shifting my course into Med. I need a good grade to enter med school 😭❤️ Thank youuu!

    @sijasony 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Doc... Great work. All your videos are great. Many are longer than required. All your videos if they were shorter and condensed would have been more fruitful and more people would watch it. First thing people look at in a video is the time duration of the video... anything more than 3 minutes is avoided by many due to lack of time in their busy schedule.

    Hi Doc,
    I recently graduated from undergrad with a degree in business and I am considering going back to school to finish the pre-reqs for medical school. I noticed you said that you have an MBA. My question to you is, what made you decide to switch from studying business to medical school?
    Thank you so much and I really enjoy your channel.

    Finally? Ive been searchin' around for this stuff and finally found the right thing. Without habit, Doc, i suppose you need a lot of willpower and motivation to study. But once you have a habit, it becomes easier. I am doing Pre Med in Pakistan. And hope to become a Paediatric Cardiac Surgeon one day :) .

    The power of habit...
    1. exercise... have a routine
    2.habit loop...wake up and do something everyday... like wake up and go to the gym..
    3.routine.. queue. habit reward...like sense of satisfaction
    For studies
    1.cardinal habit.. exercise.. gym... then eat healthy
    Get a queue.. like i wake up ...and start studying......
