Hi janaki,
Good to have you here.
I know you can do it if you follow what Kalyann told you. I know it is not easy to study with a family . It is hard but not impossible.
Wish you good lcuk.

i cant control my legs from moving away from this chair .was sitting here since 10am and now its just 1pm .ofcourse i took a long stroll for 35 mins during this time.needed fresh air ,did some revision ,
i realised if i want to concentrate more and not fall sleepy i need to speak out loud what i am learning .i think this is a good tip i would want everyone to try .
i think i should vary my study activities to stay longer with the books .if i just do the same thing i just want to close the books .
i have few questions for you my friends
how do i stay more concentrated not let anythoughts come to my mind {not comepletely but atleast to an extent
how do i stay longer with the books and stop this urge to move away from my chair
thanks all once again for supporting me in this journey.

630-700 walking
7-8 30 cooking and clean up and lunch boxes and say bye bye to my husband and kid,laundry
8-30-9am shower and breakfast
9-10 still breakfast ,reading strength giving literature,relaxing myself completely and get prepared for the day, arranging my books,
10-3 study with small breaks for fresh air ,
3-4 journals ,evaluation of my study ,flash cards,putting back books in their place
4-5 basic house cleaning{with tv}

Hi janaki,
You can take short breaks for every one hour of study.
sometimes,Reading the same subject/topic continously, especially when its not interesting, makes not to study or feel bored.
So, you can try alternating it with listening to audios for one hour and then reading the material for next one hour so on !
If you are ok with music, you can leave some soft music in the background- just the sound tracks if not the songs !
you seem to work more and sleep less,
So, Try to sleep from 11pm-7am if possible for u, and you can do exercise when you feel sleepy in the afternoon, or in the evening by leaving the kid to your husband for half an hour.
Instead of keeping fixed timings for every task, ..you may want to do them, when u take breaks while u study.
I donno if its practical ...just telling !

 i think it works better for me .by march my goal is to study 7 to 8 hours daily and balance my family .i am also planning to hire a maid for 3 hours or so so i will have more time to study .and this morning i was just doing a fw flash cards got a bit bored a nd i went to kalyans journal page and i saw his quote running walking and crawling but all in the forward direction.
i have always studied during day time after 7pm or maximum 9pm my brain goes to g0phase .so i decide di will sleep early around 9-30 10pm and wake up by 4am .coz this 4am will be there even if its a weeknd even if my son is sick 4am to 6am can be utilized well.
by gods grace i will finish these timing trials by march 1st or 2nd week so i can get into the hot stuff of uw questions ,qbank ,q books ,and all the real stuff .

I think with this kind of supportive and kind words from your fellow students i can can achieve my target .
today i woke up at 5am .MY GOAL IS TO SLEEP BY 10PM AND WAKE UP BY 4AM by march 1st week if someone asks what janaki is doing at 10am she is sleeping and where is she at 4am ,she is hitting the books .by march 1st week i am doing this .,i am going to stop eating refined carbs like pasta they make me lazy and sleepy instead eat some fresh veggies,grilled corn ,avacados,and fruits lots of fruits .no glucose in it just sucrose .even if i sleep or take a nap in the afternoon i will make it short for 1 hour .yes i can do this yes i can do this .
samay se pehle yaa samay ke baad na kuch hua hai naa kuch hoga{from forums}now the samay has come and janaki is going to move in no direction except forward .thanks kalyann thanks for your wonderful quotes .guyton and kalyann u are my jumpstarters {if thats a valid word} i will have to tell that to myself many times and never forget the friends who helped me in this process
thanks thanks all and study hard .

Hi!! Janaki, U called me for advise and i'm taking inspiration from u r journal!!!!U r doing great. Like guyton was saying if u can finish small chores during u r breaks u might possibly get some extra time for questions at night or if not aleast some extra time for some well deserved sleep. Right now since u r just starting try to get atleast 7 hrs sleep other wise in a couple of days it is gonna hit u,( unless of course u r already used to 6 hrs sleep every day which u seem to be according to the schedule u posted) b'cz closer to the exam u r gonna get less and less time to sleep.
Try to get started on Questions from the beginning it self ur 10-11 time in the night could be for questions as a learning tool and not for testing.try doing like 10 Qs per day reading all the answers. might or might not understand but atleast 50% of what u have read will stay in ur mind and will also help u identify the important topics while u r studying the actual subject.also like guyton was saying watching the videos or listeniong to the lectures is a break to the monotony of just reading the books. also the videos help u to understand and assimilate the notes better.
Anyway do what best works for u. the main thing about USMLE is consistency, irrespective of the ups and downs of daily life. Trust me u are an inspiration.And u have the determination so u will do it.!!
