Dear Journal, After going through many of the journals in this I have started my prep 3 months back, with on& offs in between. One day , I study for 8-9 hrs, but the next day hardly 2- 3 hrs. The problem is I am an easy distractor. I browse alot & watch movies atleast 2 in a week. I have to get rid of these distractions in the middle of the prep. Atleast I have to keep a fixed day in a week for these things & relax. so I will take tuesday as the day off for my prep. I have to maintain consistency in my prep. Be determined till I give my step 2ck exam. MY study aid: Kaplan LN for all subjects expect psychiatry, Barabara fadem for psychiatry & USMLE world Till now I finished Most of the internal medicine. I have to do Usmle world questions in Hematology, pulmo, Liver, rheuma, ENT, Derma & Opth. I am doing topic wise, timed mode & reading the explanation for every question & then prep a notes with stuff I dont know. Study for 10hrs a day, make sure not in quantity, but in quality Planning To finish all the subjects by the end of this month. By 11th I should Finish the remnants of IM (Usmle world questions in Hematology, pulmo, Liver, rheuma, ENT, Derma & Opth) By 19th I should finish pediatrics inc UW By 26th psychiatry inc UW By 2nd oct surgery Inc UW By 11th oct Oby & gyn inc UW Revise all subjects in 10 days & give NBME 2 30days of revising Kaplan LN, UW questions & my notes Then give NBME 3 Finally 10 days prep just before exam Exam day. I am planning to give my exam by NOV ending God give me strength to achieve my goal, to keep myself focused always & to maintain consistency in my prep. I feel that I can achieve my goal with help of god & with the motivation I expect from this forum. Ok coming to todays schedule, I should complete hematology & Pulmonology UW questions. Meet you before I go to bed with my todays performance.

Hi drinturi, welcome! Seems like we have similar problems, easy to get distracted. But yes, we have to face it and conquer this, and we can do it! I will check on you often and see whether you are making progress. GL and enjoy your study.
