Very good question but the answer varies depending upon a person's own habits. For me, when i first noticed i am constantly logged on and spending too much time i downloaded parental control and locked my internet access and gave the password to my husband. (yeah i got that obsessed) but to tell you the truth its not the forum we are obsessed about but really we are looking for escapes that we dont feel guilty about later on. So my advice would be spend 30 min each day same time. goodluck

aha..this i sreally interesting!!

the point is u do learn a lot from the forum and sit at it longer than the regular books..if u feel its harming ur studies, i guess u shud curb the addiction..but do browse through it iff u feel u end up putting in more hours in studying..

to be honest that's a very valid concern..do we c a 'prep4usmle anonymous group' in the making!!

I use my supper time to check some new posts. Maybe 20-30 mins, depend on how interesting they are. And maybe 10-20 mins before I go home to report what I did today. You don't have to use your study time to do so. When you want to have a break or want to talk to somebody after a long time isolated study, you can log in and search something useful, not only for the studying but also for your emotional needs.
