I love watching how-to optimize my daily routine to procrastinate

[minoalymeg]

Step 1: Laying the foundations (0:46)
Daily routine foundational pillars (important and non-negotiable):
>wake up time
>exercise regimen
>meals
>wind down time (when you go to sleep)

- Determine when these occur to reduce mental energy. Have it already figured out
- Enough sleep and regular exercise -> cognitive boost
- Do not eat too late at night

examples of daily routines: 2:47

Step 2: Adjusting the details (4:06)
- Optimize your focused work and study time
- When are you the most able to focus?

example of focused study block: at least 2-4 hours

- Breaks are essential. You can have productive breaks (run errands, take a shower, etc) -> mental recovery, to avoid burnout
- Exercise during breaks! for example go on walks
- To maintain your sanity: watch your fav show, read, play (board games), etc
- Practice mindfulness and reflection anytime during the day (i think journaling or meditation are good examples here)

Step 3: Putting it in action (8:53)
- How can you make it easier for the future you to follow the plan ?
> Use a calendar, save a screenshot of you schedule on your phone, stick it to the wall/on your desk etc.
> Set morning alarms across the room

- Allocate time to review the results of your routine (reflect on what did work and what didn't)
Make adjustments if needed !

Good luck everyone! Enjoy the process and the journey of achieving your goals and becoming the best version of yourself :)

As always watching while I'm supposed to be studying

[sirnaelias]

I just have a small feeling that this will change my life. Like no joke. I’m saving it so i can reference back to it!

[MelSpeaksMD]

Routine is sooo essential to productivity and changing it up when necessary is necessary for growth. My routine has changed drastically from university to medical school and now as a practicing physician trying to maintain a household .. I’m still a work in progress and loving it every step of the way! ❤️

[chrisgreece]

I love the interesting way you show to us information and we can creatively understand it without being passive listeners Thank You😏

[neescott]

I have been looking to establish a routine all week and have watched countless YouTube videos on this topic! This by far is my favorite one, highly practical. Thanks again MSI!

[khunshakhan]

LOVE THIS, thankyou! No one in med school has ever told me to take breaks, it's like a rat race, where taking breaks or having times of demotivation and taking rest from a stressful study routine is looked down upon. It's like you always have to have your A-game and you shan't feel like giving up even once in this journey. Thankyou for this realistic advice, it definitely benefits one more than being constantly told that you don't deserve a place in this field if you've a mindset of taking breaks, even throughout the day or maybe for a few days after finals end.

Thank you for this video! My gf shared it with me and I’m so happy she did and that I took the time to watch it, take notes and made a plan. Some said that this is going to change their life; I couldn’t agree more. Have a great week everyone 🙌🏽

[naynagopaul]

I love how you presented the information in a creative visual form. Made me eager to implement a similar type of routine. Awesome work on the channel! 😊

[ItsGraceDiamond]

Thank you so much. I'll try this.
I usually sleep very late like almost 4:00am and I need to be in class by 7:00am so I have to wake up and be ready before that. I'm always stressed out even if I don't do much in a day. I think it's because I don't sleep enough.
I'll try to discipline myself and excersize too 🥺
