 Here's one simple question that I was asked all the time as a medical student that really helped me study faster and get better grades. That question is, what would I do differently if the test was tomorrow? A lot of times students on their medical journey and I'm definitely guilty of this would have a test request coming up in a few days. It feels like we are adding so much to our play and we feel overwhelmed. But if you simply ask the question, okay, if the professor suddenly decided to be super cruel and make the test request tomorrow, what would I not do? And what would I do more of? Now you start to identify the streamlined process of how you truly learn. Doing this helps you identify opportunities where you can be doing more of and things where you can just completely take it out of your study. Asking this question of what would I do differently if the test was tomorrow forces you to find those rooms of opportunity as well as taking all the fluff out of your studying. And it doesn't matter, the test is truly tomorrow versus a month from now. If you ask that question periodically, you'll find you become a much more efficient steadier and become less prone to being influenced by what everyone else is doing because you know what works for you.
