hi sprint,flow slows down when there isn't motivation:
identufy wht's reason? :1 either u r tired?
2 poor concept:hence no enthu
3 too much worry?
i hope it helps,we are all dr's and we r used to wroking hard than any other mortal being,maybe abpve silly reasons put u down,so rectify those.
a very nice quote of nikki: either modify ur dreams or enhance ur skills.
Ck is no big deal no high IQ,all u need is patience to sit for few hrs with fresh mind ,so that u read.
we are all struggling....
but we enjoy our studeis,
got to move ahead

SUNDAY 29th April.
very well said shaina,  sprint I shall try to write quotes again .
Yesterday met with an road accident. I was on my bike..it scid on my foot ..I had sport shoes on so no abrasions on my foot but my ankle is swollen like a balloon. no fracture thanks god. both my knees have deep abrasions..I can't flex I cant walk I cant hop on the comparitively well leg coz of the knee..Im wheel chair bound  . obviously I couldnt study yesterday..and neither will today..I need to adjust with this. will get back to this diary once I settle with this trauma. I know it'll take time to heel but I hope I can start to study soon. ..its an ankle spria ..it has to go soon!!
I shouldnt worry much
Shaina I already did IM and pedia, obgyn. now surgery and psych remain..I will not do these as now I have to do 200 quest a day to finish my q bank till 5th and then will take NBME2.after that I will cover surgery and psych. lets see though how much I manage before NBME. I feel I can!!
all the best to everyone. here I go to get my wound dressings done and then will try manaage to study if Im not in much pain.
The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing. The main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack!!

same here feeling tired and sleeping a lot.
oh nikki...dont worry u'll get better soon. i'll pray for u.
shaina its good u took a break and now back with more energy. i should have taken a real break.
about IM peds...i wont be revising it. just finished surgery and now doing ob/gyn. i'll start the obs book today. plus some explanations left from yesterdays q's. i have to do UW explanations too.
i did psych before IM....so i might give it half a day.
i have to finish IM q's in q bank before taking nbme3.
nbme3 is supposed to be the hardest of all nbme's. i'm a bit scared to take it. but i cant postpone my exam. i dont want to postpone it. i'll just have to take it.
INSHALLAH ALL OUR EFFORTS WILL PAY.
dear nikki just hang i there...u'll be fine ...we all r praying for u.

thanks sera and shaina, Im feelling much better than yesterday. Im studying today but slept abit more i think psychological feelling of illness . I like ur plan for next week shaina. want to wish u the best to comnplete it! U can..its doable. Im sure u will. keep us informed as to every day how its going.
My plan for next week is just qbank questions with Uw notes in between untill I finish ALL my UW notes and ALL my Q bank questions.
Will start days with Uw notes and start questions in mid day and in end of day will try to cover some pages of crush..at least 10 pages.
Monday 30th-psyhiatry quest 50 and IM quest 150
Tuesday 1st May-150 IM quest.
Wednesday 2nd May-mixed quest 200 ( I had left some quest from every subj to mix in end..so I think there will around 600 quest for me to do in mixed form)
Thursday 3rd May- mixed quest 200
Friday 4th- mixed quest 200.
Saturday 5th-Crush as much as I can cover...will keep using Crush in other days too as much as I can but priority will be to finish UW notes.
Sunday 6th-NBME2.( plz god help me reach this day with full satisfaction)
I feel good now and just the evening is left to study so I will be doing 100 quest of psychiatry before going to bed....if I fail to then it will add on to Monday's target and become more difficult for me. So I must.
all the best to everyone.

Monday 30th April,
Today's target--> psychiatry and IM quest from Q bank. (total of atleast 150 ) + UW notes of surgery(1/3rd of them) + CRUSH 10 pages atleast.
Real difficulties can be overcome; it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable

ok till now I finished 1/3rd surgery uw notes as planned. did 50 psychiatry quest so far...reading explainations now..just got 60%..im tooo bad at psychiatry..I think I cant ignore it anymore. 5 more hours to go before bed time. I got a bit slow in the beginning of the day but now I think I have gathered myself back. thanks to a friend who motivated me just now. she has done her exam waiting for score and I felt really good talking to her.she made things seem so easy. thats what friends are for!! not just for taking but GIVING when someone is in need ) Godbless her with great score. sometimes we need good friends around. I love my friends and am glad to have their support.
after this accident on saturday I took 2 days to adjust with my stick and walker and my daily tasks. but I guess with my friends and family support Im back with full energy ready to KILL this exam ))
getting back to studies. I have to finish todays target.

hi
i finished obs and now started gynae. hope to finish it soon. cant waste anymore time on ob/gyn. UW explanations r still left.
i'll start kaplan q bank q's tomorrow. i'll do q's more than half a day and at night finish all the left overs from gynae, IM ,peds. i want to spend some time on my weak areas mainly cardio and respiratory. i hope i get time to do that before nbme day which is by the end of this week.
i hope i keep studying consistently. i have been going slow since thursday. i could have done a lot more. from tomorrow...one month left for exam.
OH ALLAH please help me to stay focused and make use of all this time i have. AMEN
nikki and shaina u r both doing good. i like your timetables. i would have posted mine too if i had one.
basically as i said i'll do q's half a day and then leftover stuff. i'll try to do as much as i can and keep posting what i did.
take care and good luck to all

TUESDAY May 1st.
Shaina..u need to relax abit..revise ur time table..when I get anxious I revise my timetable..make some changes and then I make sure how I will be able to finish on time...that drives my anxiety away and I get focused. yesterday I didnt finish my target so before I panick I revised my time table to make sure I dont postpone my NBME 2 date, sijnce I lost 3 days from saturday my work per day has increased in my new timetable to make it till end of this week.
If we waste time we will get anxious. so no more of that from now!
Today's target--> 100 psychiatry quest + 100 IM quest + CRUSH (15pages) + Surgery UW notes 1/3rd ( already did 1/3rd yesterday)
Lets be more determined!! ALS got 99 I just saw..I feel so motivated. Plz God help me stay fresh till the end of the day!!
