My tip is to compartmentalise everything; we’re habitual creatures. I associate my room with sleep / play so never do work there. I will head to the library if I want to do work and only come home once I’m ready to sleep / relax
Great tip - yes I totally agree, often I need to make plans with a friend to go to the library or to a coffee shop otherwise I won't have the willpower to do it!
Great video! I really like the last tip about not thinking you have unlimited time in the evening, so you can get to sleep at a reasonable time... I struggle with falling into that trap after a long day!
I'm a 3rd year med student and Having an organized area is very important. Whenever I sit to study I just begin to think of unnecessary things that are kept in the wrong areas and feel the need to clean. I prefer to stay back in class to study so as soon as I get home I can just do whatever I want. Thanks for the tips Jamie. ❤️
I really like how you do the video layouts when you are sponsored. Sometimes, youtuber's will take 4 minutes in the beginning to talk about the sponsored and then it just turns me off to even watching the video. but with you, you mention it quickly at the beginning, but allow us to enjoy your content before you briefly talk about it at the end.
Jamie’s tips for productivity: 1) have a routine or know what your going to accomplish-don’t lie down right away 2) set goals outside of school (use it as a break after class) 3)have an organized work area so you don’t want to clean 4) have a big picture goal! ( long period of time like getting a good grade in a class, or application or project and work on it everyday.) 5)have a scheduled time to stop working ...don’t watch tv or go out with friends before bc your sacrificing ur sleep
Ive always wanted to know: at what point do YOU make flashcards? During your study session, or after you've studied the material at a different time? Please let us know :( Thanks for the great videos!
U are my role model. Initially I had no self confidence during first month at medical school but after watching ur videos , my self confidence gradually took off . I discovered that having a routine study plan is the feedstock of confidence , good grades , good health and many more . Thanks for all that u are doing and i hope u have a good life and will achieve the zeneith
You're such an inspirational person. My personal tip for productivity after school is to never study in my bedroom/living room. I always go to the library/coffee shop after school and my kitchen table when I'm working late at night.
I really liked this video, especially Tip #5! So many times it seems like videos on how to be productive don't give you a lot of tangible advice and the message ends up being "just try harder". Watching this also did remind me of how much differently my brain works, though. I recently learned I have ADHD so no amount of trying harder is going to be a magic fix for me, I need to actually set boundaries to give myself some structure, but not so many that I feel stuck and overwhelmed. Thanks for this! Your calm demeanor is really pleasant to watch.
WooooW !! That was super duper helpful , well said and well planned too !! Great job , keep up the great work and good luck going through your second step ...
The first thing i do after i finish big exam is cleaning my room and sorting those tons of papers .. second thing is to watch my favourite movie and do some knitting or crochet ... i find that so relaxing and stress relieving ... i usually take 2 days off and start studing again .. i want to thank you for your studing with me videos it really helped me studing for my end round surgery exam last wednesday .. keep going 💗
Tip for people in school atm- high school/ college doesn’t matter, never study or do your homework on your bed and keep phone away for as long as possible, I’ve learned to do my homework and study in my kitchen as it’s usually clean and when I did work on my bed I became lazy and tired, work at a desk or a table in your house or go to a library for no distractions
Needed this for motivation! I always end up taking loooong naps or just scrolling thru social media accounts after my clinics duty because i get too lazy to go back studying 😂 I think I'll follow the work out tip! A boost of endorphins just might do the trick 😂 Thanks for this!
Hi, Jamie...love your videos and your tips. How about one on diet, preparing less time-consuming lunches that are healthy. I start my day at 4:30 a.m. so I can accomplish more out of my day but the right food isn´t always at hand.
I always have to leave the house. just the process of taking a shower, getting ready, packing study material and reviewing that day's requirements goes a long way to get you started and as we all know, getting started is the hardest part. for me libraries aren't the best option because I cant get food or coffee without wasting a lot of time so a coffee shop + noise canceling headset it is. libraries are great for cram sessions though.
I definitely agree with the working out. I'm a 4th year med student and an avid fitness gal. I head to gym right after I get off from the hospital and/or class and it works wonders on my ability to concentrate in the evenings. I gym about 3-4 times per week. I also go to sleep usually by 12am...1am the lastest during early weeks of my rotations. Some of my colleagues do all nighters almost every night and the seem to function fine. But for me I'm a monster/zombie if I don't sleep (or eat ha ha). With respect to the work space. I function well when I'm at my work desk (located in my room) or I go downstairs and work on the kitchen table. I dislike my main library because it's way too cold! And I get hungry very often (muscle gains :)) so most times I work at home. At home find your work station and sit there every time you do work! This will build a habit (ahhh the joys of building habits) but remember it will take a while and you may fall off the wagon sometimes but just get right back up on it.
This was an excellent video! Not only is your content but you do a great job with editing the videos! Those were some excellent tips! I definitely need to clean my workstation, it got so messy this semester. Keep up the great work. :)
Thank you so much Doctor. Also, thank you for the video you made in the past where you shared a very nice workout journal. The name of the journal is Body Minder workout & Exercise journal 📓. Thank you for your channel. You push and inspire me academically.💕
Can you make a video solely about the way that you take notes ? I see the markers that you have, and I know a lot of people who use them for note taking ! Thanks so much !!
Hey do you have a video on tips on practicing suturing techniques? I'm a 3rd yr medical student and was looking for some advice on that, as well as a good company brand to buy a suturing kit from... any advice on that will be greatly appreciated, even more so if a video was made on that topic.... thanks in advance.
I enjoyed this so much. I did not pursue any hobbies during medical school or residency. I would just sleep or eat or watch TV. I could not afford the time or the money ....
Can you do a video on how the Apple Watch helps you become more productive? It is a good thing to be always efficiently alerted to messages or updates? What are your favourite apps for the watch? Love your videos! So helpful!
Maryanne Moll I feel like it would be worse. I’m in pa school and I get distracted by my phone so I need to keep it on do not disturb mode so I don’t hear any updates of anything otherwise i look at it and then get distracted.
Hi! I have a question that I would love for you to answer in one of your videos regarding work-life balance: how do you "turn off" work when you get home? I can imagine that work has its challenges. How do you go home and shift gears to be present for your personal life? Similarly, how do you stay calm and healthy with interrupted sleep while doing 8-9 hr shifts? These are my main anxieties about medicine. Thanks. REPLY
Thanks so much for this video!!! ^_^ Honestly, something that helps me stay productive after work or school is caffeine. Yes, I still make sure to drink plenty of water, but I do work full-time, and when I get home from work, I'm EXHAUSTED! So a little bit of caffeine here and there is helpful for me.
Can you do a video on things that look good on a medical school application? I’m starting college in January and I want to do everything possible to have an outstanding application for when I apply for med school
Thanks for the tips! Btw could u also share some tips about how to get along well with cats🐱cause Candy is sooo cute and I am always wondering about life with 🐱🐱🐱! Thank u:)
My tip is to compartmentalise everything; we’re habitual creatures. I associate my room with sleep / play so never do work there. I will head to the library if I want to do work and only come home once I’m ready to sleep / relax
London's Journal
I completely agree, I just wish there was somewhere nearby where I could catch a meal.
I agree ,I do the same. multitasking does not work.
Great tip - yes I totally agree, often I need to make plans with a friend to go to the library or to a coffee shop otherwise I won't have the willpower to do it!
London's Journal you are everywhere 😂
Me too . I am less productive at home . Usually I head to library and return only when I want to sleep
Great video! I really like the last tip about not thinking you have unlimited time in the evening, so you can get to sleep at a reasonable time... I struggle with falling into that trap after a long day!
