On the weekends I usually do some catching up on the notes and flashcards that I didn't get done during the week. I keep to the same work and sleep schedule on the weekends. It's just easier to do so. I allow myself more time for working out and as you call them "recreational activities." You will find that it's up to you how much time you want to spend not studying. If you feel comfortable with the material, then you can have long blocks of activities. It's really up to you.
Aw! Where will you be going? Im going to Barts in london :)+ yes inshaAllah we'll be fine. We've made this far why cant be make it through as well, yeah?
I'm in first year of vet school, and got totally lost with my stydying schedule, this video has so many good tips, thanks alot! I will abolutely try out the schedule and the prepping in the morning :-) Keep up the good work! Greetings from a norwegian vet-student in Budapest.
I just finished my first year in medical school and I can say revision is very important. You don't need to go to the exam finishing the 100% of your lectures. All you need is to finish more than 50% of lectures and revise them all. Also, studying day by day. Read and keep reading! Search, ask, watch. All those things helped me to improve my grades.
On the weekends I usually do some catching up on the notes and flashcards that I didn't get done during the week. Also, when you have Anatomy lab the weekends are a great time to go in. Usually few/no people are in the lab on Saturday or Sunday mornings. It's a great time to get in there and learn quietly for a couple hours. I oddly enough have a video about studying and life balance. Here is the link, I hope it's useful. youtube. com/watch?v=MFZTSge9crc
It's up to you what you want to study during the 1 hour sessions. For example, I tend to study path for 2-3 hours then switch to something else. This is really dependent on getting through the material. You can switch after every hour, but I like to stay focused for several hours on a topic then switch. No reason to stress to getting an antire topic/lecture in one hour. As you progress in your education you just can't study a lecture in hour. Again, no wrong way to do it. Just study and enjoy.
can't get enough of watching your videos, it just gives me a motivation to continue studying. please do video on how to get motivation in medical school. thank you
Thanks for the comment. I bough the white board at Costco and I bought the chalk board from Amazon. Make sure not to pay more than $30 for either. There ae some that are extremely expensive online for no reason.
good advice. I am 21. i'm undergrad. I take MCAT soon. This is good advice. I heard this from you at a good time. Note to self: -wake up at 6 -study 1 hr + 15 min break -sleep at 11 -military dicipline -don't look at others accomplishments -exercise -friends, family, life -got it!
Excellent points and presentation. I can tell that you will make a fine doctor. Though I've given up my previous goal of becoming a dentist, I somewhat "miss" the lifestyle I guess. I've decided that it wasn't the best path&career for me, but I have great respect for the medical field.
Hey man, thanks. You really helped me to understand logically how to manage medical school, instead of panicking, which is what sometimes happens to me.
well... my first semester was a total mess... It was very difficult (at least for me) to adapt to the speed that things were going, and my schedule was just awful... I used to sleep like 4-3 hours a day... it wast just so difficult... the nervousness before an anatomy exam was just... gosh haha... I did a lot better in my second semester of that year, I managed to adopt a daily studying rutine and to be honest, it makes your life a looot easier... during my desesperation haha I tried to find the answer on how to do better in forums and stuff and everyone will tell you the same thing, respect a daily schedule of studying, that is the only secret
I'm from Zambia, Africa and I just recently got into med school over here. I've only had 2 lectures so far and I'm really enjoying it. I've been watching all your videos and I must say, they're making me even more enthusiastic to learn more. Thank you so much for your information. I think it's gonna make me a good med student.
I LOVE YOU> This guy is so right. I started the one hour on 15 minutes off. It totally works. I use it now and it is amazing especially with taking my 1hr lunch and 1 hr dinner!!!!
Great stuff man. I wish I followed this kind of regimen. The only problem is that many schools have lectures in the morning and labs during the day. This definitely holds true for second year though (no labs). Good luck in MS2. Keep up the hard work and you'll do great. -MS2
I know exactly what you mean. I used to study that way when I was in college. It has been shown that after 1-hr people start to lose their focus. Even though you feel like you're studying just fine, you are learning at a lower efficiency. If you don't believe this, just try the study method for a week. See if you notice any difference.
I really really like your video, i mean it's been almost three weeks (yeah only three weeks) that i've started all of my studies in medical school, and i really started feeling down, getting confused and depressed and like omg i made a bad choice and stuff. And seriously these tips helped me a lot, i'm feeling more organised and less stressed. So thank you so much, and yeah keep it up man !!
I love taking 10 minute walk-breaks every hour. I stress out really easy while studying, so some physical activity (walking) helps me burn off some of that feedback loop that's trying to elicit a fight/flight in me. Also keeps my back and neck from getting all seized-up
I will start in a month at least....... I will also be first year.... I will be happy if we can be friends so that we can get benefit from each other if you dont mind..... this is also true for anyone else who sees this reply..... waiting for your answer CHEERS
Deeviya Ganesan If 8-5 is difficult for you, then you will not enjoy residency. By 8am during my PGY1 year, I am expected to have rounded on, developed plans on and written notes on the patients on my service. I am expected to see consults, and take care of anything that happens to any of the 15-20 or so patients on the floor. My day "ends" at 5:30pm when I check out to the night staff, but I am routinely in the hospital until 8pm catching up on paper work, consults, admissions, etc. from the day before I have to come back at 5am again for sign out the next day. I do this 6 days a week. This is what you will be facing as a resident. I hope 8-5 gets easier for you.
I’m in 2nd semester in med school ! 7am in class -I get out around 4pm, a lot of homework 📚 test every day or at least once a week, 9pm cry eat and repeat ❤️
I think his best advice was to clean during breaks. My room and kitchen used to be filthy but after hearing his advice I started cleaning for about 1 and a half to 2 hours a day between studying. Changed my life.
hello docOssareh! I'm currently in pre-medical school (specifically in a Physical Therapy Program - bcos it's different here in the Philippines). I've been doing the condensed notes strategy for a couple of years now but the load of the material during my third year was a problem for me. You've mentioned that it can take several hours to do - I agree but the conflict is that I still have to study for a quiz for the next day.Thus- UNFINISHED NOTES.Does this happens to you? How do u cope with it?
the schedule is pretty good!! BUT ITS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR INDIAN STUDENTS who have medical school from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. i think we just have to study continuously till we doze off!!
I've had a pretty rough start to med school so far with studying and keeping up with material mainly due to a lack of a daily disciplined routine so I'm hoping some of your tips will help as I try to get back on track. Thanks!
Can you please tell me how you use the white and black board for you studies? Is there a video on it? I personally haven't seen one since primary school. Thanks
this is a wonderful video! I was intimidated by the length initially, but it was so very useful, and the advice so precise and simple! I took notes while watching this, your advice and experience has been so helpful and your delivery so engaging! Thank you very much!
I am only in 10th grade high school, but I think that this method you were talking about will really help me through out the rest of high school and in college, etc. Really liked this video, thanks! :) I also liked the fire hydrant and marathon comparisons.
Thanks so much I just started first year of med school, and I'm really suffering with managing my time, memorizing,do other H.W other than studying blocks. My med school request student to have electives which you should stay in school till 7 p.m.At 7 p.m. you just find yourself tired and want to sleep. Yah not only that I also gained a lot of weight which makes me even feel worse, but I'm fighting, I'm trying to do what I suppose to do (studying). At last your youtube is going to help me.
Very helpful like you said its common sense and discipline and eventually it just turns into habit but you have to make the effort first. I'm applying to post baccs this year so it will be awhile before I start taking the MCAT's and applying to med school but Im priming myself now so wish me luck! I appreciate the video!
Amazing. I specifically logged in to comment your video. Thank you so much, I've just started my first year and it's been really hard. I didn't do good on my first exam so it feels like i'm stuck in a vicious cycle where I compare myself to others and think I'm the stupid one. It's hard to find yourself at the bottom of the class for the first time. Anyways great tips on the studying, will be using those as of NOW. see you in 1 hour
Hi DocOssareh. I am really enjoying your videos and am trying out different pieces of your advice. I have been accepted to two medical schools and have to decide which to go to. Do you have any suggestion looking back at your choice as to how to make the best choice? Obviously it will be different for everyone, but... any sage words of wisdom? Thanks!
Great video! I like your idea of breaking your study period down to small chunks. I do it a little bit different. I read in a study technique book that your mental focus sort of goes up and down, I mean you can't stay focused for the whole hour. So they recommend break you study down to 25-40 minutes. It depends on each individual. For me, after experimenting with it, I study for 30 minutes and then take a 5 minute break.
This definitely helped! Maybe start the lowkey version of this schedule in your undergrad and build. It would help when starting such a crazy schedule for med school as well as make your undergrad grades awesome! Thank You!!!
this is a great video, I definitely needed to see this video!, I'm not a med student, however I do feel that the advice that docOssareh was saying could benefit any body who is having a tough time with their time management. I'm will definitely try to incorporate the military time strategy and the various mediums of studying, whether it be through flash cards, chalkboard, writing, using my itouch(for educational purposes:)), I just wanted to take the time to say thank-you doctor for video!!
I'm so happy that I found you on my first day at med school. And I got scared going for just one day, I obviously didn't want to stay scared or become weary of the path I'd chosen, so I turned to the internet and after several youtube videos ( mostly yours ) I just finished watching this one. I wanted to write a little chunk of sentences telling you Thank you ! Now I can start to make sense of where I'm headed and how to cope with the year ahead. ^_^ I'll keep around ^_^you get my 2 thumbs up ( Yup heard you say that in one of your more recent videos). Your work is amazing and so is your style of explaining. You're a great motivational speaker. ^_^ loved everything here. You're great help. P.S I love fountain pens too( most people think I'm crazy ) and white and black boards. ^_^ ^_^ Thanks a bunch again. You're amazing ^_^
WOW you are good! :D regarding ur 1 hour studying and 15 minute break, things like anatomy and physiology require that momentum and concentration right, taking that 15 min break don't you lose that concentration and momentum u initially had by breaking too often? I think 2 hours studying and 15 minute break might be more efficient :)
DocOssareh has honestly inspired me to consider med school, I am currently in engineering and this video has honestly helped me rethink my goals and how to approach engineering time management wise. Thanks for the great video man, keep it up!!
Thanks for the video. I'm only in highschool so I don't have to deal with nearly as much as you do, but my life's a mess and I've needed to fundamentally reorganize myself for a while now.
Thank you so much! This is probably the best advice I've ever gotten I think its a good idea to have 15 min free time, 1 hour lunch, getting you to think that u actually have a life haha thank you so much again, hopefully I can manage my self better now
Thank you so much! I'm always looking for ways to manage my time and interests before entering med school to avoid the trivial worries you were talking about in the beginning
I was in the same situation. I had to choose between a more prestigious medical school, and a medical school that is a lot younger and building notoriety. I chose the school I would be happy going to. That is really what it is going to come down to. No matter where you go to med school, you will leave with an M.D. (or D.O.). Just go to the medical school where you feel you will be happiest :)
Ive done this for a month so far and havent fell behind, I use 30 min on 5-10 mins off, quizes and im feeling great and super productive but i also take a day off every week
I feel a lot better after watching this, and I'm starting to get really excited about med school. I'm a junior in under grad. And a lot of the tips you gave especially about being strict and military with time management, I feel like I have a great handle on this already. I even write out a study schedule so that I know exactly what to study, when to study it and how long to study it (according to priority, highest being which ever exam is first or what ever I understand least lol), it usually is weekly. Monday study this for this long, then study that for that long, Tuesday study this for this long, complete this assignment (or start) etc. And I set two alarms in the morning 5 min apart to make sure I get up lol. So hearing this makes me happy, maybe it won't be such a thrown in cold water with no clothes on for me :D
i'm in the first year of vet school in Taiwan, this semester has been crazy insane with countless tests, class hours, and lab reports. My school doesn't work like yours, we have classes 9-5 almost everyday. But anyways, your video is inspiring and good pep talk, thank you!
Thank you much for this video. This was extremely helpful for me as I'm prepping for medical school in the next year or two...anything else that you recommend, please upload! :)
On the weekends I usually do some catching up on the notes and flashcards that I didn't get done during the week. I keep to the same work and sleep schedule on the weekends. It's just easier to do so. I allow myself more time for working out and as you call them "recreational activities." You will find that it's up to you how much time you want to spend not studying. If you feel comfortable with the material, then you can have long blocks of activities. It's really up to you.
I start medical school in a month...so nervous already. I hope I can make the most of this amazing opportunity and blessing.
Oh my God really??? I start in 2 weeks time. Am excited and nervous. good luck to the both of us.
Mee tooo!!!! so excited and so worried at the same time about this hole managing everything stuff!! inshallah everything cause well for all of us
Aw! Where will you be going? Im going to Barts in london :)+ yes inshaAllah we'll be fine. We've made this far why cant be make it through as well, yeah?
Hahahaha des it's true let's be positive we never know what can happen! Well I will start med school in Switzerland inshallah
May Dhif inshAllah
10 weeks in med school and I'm like a zombie. You have no idea how much you helped. Thx a lot
You are my saviour. I am the QUEEN of procrastination. You have given me new found hope and motivation!

Thanks for the tips. I'm in second year but am returning after a LoA so I am really thankful for this vid.
good advice.
I am 21. i'm undergrad. I take MCAT soon. This is good advice. I heard this from you at a good time.
Note to self:
-wake up at 6
-study 1 hr + 15 min break
-sleep at 11
-military dicipline
-don't look at others accomplishments
-exercise
-friends, family, life
-got it!
I LOVE that White Board/Blackboard/Fountain Pen idea, it's insanely genius!
Excellent points and presentation. I can tell that you will make a fine doctor.
Though I've given up my previous goal of becoming a dentist, I somewhat "miss" the lifestyle I guess. I've decided that it wasn't the best path&career for me, but I have great respect for the medical field.
Thanks for the nice comment.
you seem like the kind of guy that WON'T let yourself fail. Good for you man to have such self control, your going to achieve great things.
Thanks for the comment.
Hey man, thanks. You really helped me to understand logically how to manage medical school, instead of panicking, which is what sometimes happens to me.
Everyone in medical school is in the same boat. Keep on working through it.
well... my first semester was a total mess... It was very difficult (at least for me) to adapt to the speed that things were going, and my schedule was just awful...

That video is in the works. Stay tuned, I'll try to get it out soon.

I've been watching all your videos and I must say, they're making me even more enthusiastic to learn more. Thank you so much for your information. I think it's gonna make me a good med student.
I think this is a good practice as an undergrad as well! I will def. be doing this this fall
I LOVE YOU>
This guy is so right. I started the one hour on 15 minutes off. It totally works. I use it now and it is amazing especially with taking my 1hr lunch and 1 hr dinner!!!!

looooooooooool
It’s a real hustle once your in med school.
Thank you for your videos I am applying for USUHS class of 2023 your videos are amazing and thank you for sharing all you have learned
I love taking 10 minute walk-breaks every hour. I stress out really easy while studying, so some physical activity (walking) helps me burn off some of that feedback loop that's trying to elicit a fight/flight in me. Also keeps my back and neck from getting all seized-up
I'm so glad I found this vid 'cause I'm starting med school in less than 2 weeks. Thanks for the awesome prep advice! Subbed!
I will start in a month at least....... I will also be first year.... I will be happy if we can be friends so that we can get benefit from each other if you dont mind..... this is also true for anyone else who sees this reply..... waiting for your answer CHEERS
How is medschool going for ya ?
My med school begins at 8am & ends at 5pm :'(
Same here
Deeviya Ganesan YESS!! Same here..

I went for computer science classes with same schedule , so what s the big deal?
Since finals is around the corner, they even planning for extra class :'( :'(

How did it go, any update? (:
Thanks for making this video. It is very helpful and I am going to start incorporating this into my school/studying. :)
This can be applied to anything you do in life, not just med school. Good video.
i'm already cramming right now for my exams on January ! this is just what i need . thank you!
I'm soooo glad I found your channel!!
+Hilary Chap thanks for the message! Glad you joined the community
Can you please tell me how you use the white and black board for you studies? Is there a video on it?
I personally haven't seen one since primary school. Thanks
Love the video, what do you do at weekends? Is it the same routine?
this is a wonderful video! I was intimidated by the length initially, but it was so very useful, and the advice so precise and simple! I took notes while watching this, your advice and experience has been so helpful and your delivery so engaging! Thank you very much!

Anyways great tips on the studying, will be using those as of NOW. see you in 1 hour
Your videos are simply amazing. Thank you for your advices in every single video, I really appreciate it!
Greetings from Germany
Hi DocOssareh. I am really enjoying your videos and am trying out different pieces of your advice. I have been accepted to two medical schools and have to decide which to go to. Do you have any suggestion looking back at your choice as to how to make the best choice? Obviously it will be different for everyone, but... any sage words of wisdom? Thanks!

cool video, informative and really useful!
Wow, you're so elaborate about it. Thank you for being so open and helpful. Seems very genuine :)
Thank you for this bro. Applying this stuff now. Sleep is oh so important
This definitely helped! Maybe start the lowkey version of this schedule in your undergrad and build.
It would help when starting such a crazy schedule for med school as well as make your undergrad grades awesome!
Thank You!!!
just graduated from college and realizing medical school is starting up in about 2 months now, this is helpful to get less nervous about it!!
this is a great video, I definitely needed to see this video!, I'm not a med student, however I do feel that the advice that docOssareh was saying could benefit any body who is having a tough time with their time management. I'm will definitely try to incorporate the military time strategy and the various mediums of studying, whether it be through flash cards, chalkboard, writing, using my itouch(for educational purposes:)), I just wanted to take the time to say thank-you doctor for video!!
I'm so happy that I found you on my first day at med school. And I got scared going for just one day, I obviously didn't want to stay scared or become weary of the path I'd chosen, so I turned to the internet and after several youtube videos ( mostly yours ) I just finished watching this one.
I wanted to write a little chunk of sentences telling you Thank you ! Now I can start to make sense of where I'm headed and how to cope with the year ahead. ^_^ I'll keep around ^_^you get my 2 thumbs up ( Yup heard you say that in one of your more recent videos). Your work is amazing and so is your style of explaining. You're a great motivational speaker. ^_^ loved everything here. You're great help.
P.S I love fountain pens too( most people think I'm crazy ) and white and black boards. ^_^ ^_^ Thanks a bunch again. You're amazing ^_^
Oh wow, great video ! And thank you so much for sharing all those helpful advices :)
This video makes me want to go study :)
Thank you very much ,this is very awesome.I gonna apply all this 4 steps....
WOW you are good! :D
regarding ur 1 hour studying and 15 minute break, things like anatomy and physiology require that momentum and concentration right, taking that 15 min break don't you lose that concentration and momentum u initially had by breaking too often? I think 2 hours studying and 15 minute break might be more efficient :)
DocOssareh has honestly inspired me to consider med school, I am currently in engineering and this video has honestly helped me rethink my goals and how to approach engineering time management wise. Thanks for the great video man, keep it up!!
Honestly just preparing the tests throughout the session is more than enough to pass any exam in medical school.
Thank you so much. Best common sense resource on the Internet.
this is the best video ever! thank you so much for sharing your experience.
I really appreciate this channel. Thanks for all of your tips. It helps to motivate me.
You're amazing for sharing your study techniques! This is going to help so much. Can't wait to follow this schedule. :)
Hello Ossareh, I'm an IMG medical graduated from Chile and now I'm preparing my step 1, this was a great video, thanks for the advise!
Thanks for the video. I'm only in highschool so I don't have to deal with nearly as much as you do, but my life's a mess and I've needed to fundamentally reorganize myself for a while now.
Thank you so much! This is probably the best advice I've ever gotten
I think its a good idea to have 15 min free time, 1 hour lunch, getting you to think that u actually have a life haha
thank you so much again, hopefully I can manage my self better now
I admire you! Thanks a lot for new ideas and your own opinion in time manage!
Greetings from Latvia! :))
Thank you so much! I'm always looking for ways to manage my time and interests before entering med school to avoid the trivial worries you were talking about in the beginning
Omg, I was so wanting to ask this question. Yes Mo, please do!
I like how you have a copy of Campbell Biology text.
Probably the most convenient reference!
Why do I find it funny when he says he doesn't care about what I do?
Lol same
I was in the same situation. I had to choose between a more prestigious medical school, and a medical school that is a lot younger and building notoriety. I chose the school I would be happy going to. That is really what it is going to come down to. No matter where you go to med school, you will leave with an M.D. (or D.O.). Just go to the medical school where you feel you will be happiest :)
thanks im in the 10 grade and i want to be a Repatriation which I know is hard but these tips are also good for high school.
Ive done this for a month so far and havent fell behind, I use 30 min on 5-10 mins off, quizes and im feeling great and super productive but i also take a day off every week
I'll use your method of studying for my chemistry and biology A levels.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
Very useful. Thanks for the gunner tip!!!
getting up every hour and moving around for 15 is a great idea... it's good for circulation... good advice
You're so funny and I love the advice you gave. Thanks for posting this video!
I feel a lot better after watching this, and I'm starting to get really excited about med school. I'm a junior in under grad. And a lot of the tips you gave especially about being strict and military with time management, I feel like I have a great handle on this already. I even write out a study schedule so that I know exactly what to study, when to study it and how long to study it (according to priority, highest being which ever exam is first or what ever I understand least lol), it usually is weekly. Monday study this for this long, then study that for that long, Tuesday study this for this long, complete this assignment (or start) etc. And I set two alarms in the morning 5 min apart to make sure I get up lol. So hearing this makes me happy, maybe it won't be such a thrown in cold water with no clothes on for me :D
This is so awesome. Thanks soo much!!
i'm in the first year of vet school in Taiwan, this semester has been crazy insane with countless tests, class hours, and lab reports. My school doesn't work like yours, we have classes 9-5 almost everyday. But anyways, your video is inspiring and good pep talk, thank you!
