I have been a silent reader of this forum and everyone here is amazing.i am just realising how little i am getting done even though i dont have half the distractions everyone else has.i am not productive.my target per day is pretty doable but my time management is bad. i take pity parties and go on major guilt rides...BADBAD so here i am promising my self...i will be true to this journal and tothis journey.. tommorow is another day...ia new beginning.i ahve to stop making excuses and just do it. food will spoil ,laundy will pile, kids will whine, hubby will not be satisfied , but in the end I can raise my head and stop being ashamed. An MD is nothing without a license.and DAMMIT i can do it

thanks unique.ineeded to hear that. its 11 am here and i havent done anything.well some .i had to reanalyse my study plan.and this is what i ahve decided. i will not be able to study for the next 2 hours and when i come back at 12:30nice and rested,i will start neoplasia again and remind myself again that its the quality not the quantityof pages& that I have to complete a chapter fully before moving on and stop feeling guilty when i CANNOT ANSWER A QUESTION. I hit a road block after realising that not all chapters are covered by goljan ..so I WILL USE KAPLAN VIDEOS FOR THOSE CHAPTERS.AND MOVE ON WILL REPORT AS SOON AS I COME IN BACK TO STUDY.I ALSO NEED TO SLEEP MORE HOURS.LAST NIGHT---->4 HOURS.NO WONDER I am so groggy.

Wake up, get over the depression! It will not help you and neither make to remember more ! You can not remember bc you feel down! Get over it, Right now ! Solve the problem which makes you sad and move on. Play your favorite music lound so the walls are shaking( can you feel a positive vibes ?), go for jog tomorrow ( even you never did before, but why not ? ), just to get a sun rays into your face, have a favorite meal for lunch and pick up the books and study as you never study before. You can do it, we can all do it !

Hey, extrapyramidal.... Get a notebook and write down all the little details you feel are important but don't stick to your head right away, Then dedicate to this notebook during the last week before the test. Things that are repeated over and over, every book or question you read will be asked. Save them for later and keep going. Perseverance will do you good. Good luck, I am praying for you!
