My top 5 study tips!

Who doesn't like a great study tip? I have always been a sucker for them. It's like one of those 'feel good' things in life for me 🤩 However anyone who has spent a significant part of their lives mastering this art will tell you it's a skill that is acquired over time and the good ones can literally change the game for you!

As a resident, being smart about fetching the right information in as little time as possible is critical, so here's some of my favorite tips and tricks:

• Feynman's Technique - If you want to learn something better, explain it. As simple as that. Find someone to teach and you are already halfway there.

• Takedown notes - Whenever you can, wherever you can. Writing things down always helps. Concise a larger chunk of information into smaller digestible bits.

• Find your best slot - For some reason, morning works wonders for me. I love the quiet, the breeze that wakes me up right away, coffee, and the solid 3-4 hours of laser focussed study sessions.

• One day at a time - give yourself daily tasks. Decide what you want to finish 'today', plan only for that particular day! Don't make unrealistic and unnecessary plans for the whole month. Long-term goals don't work for me personally.

• Rewarding yourself - if you want to be efficient you have to allow yourself some leisure. I treat myself with a favorite cup of cold coffee the week I am on top of my everyday schedule. Tell me how would you like to reward yourself?

Well, those were my top 5 study tips that completely changed the game for me. I hope they help you too. Let me know about your favorite study tips?
