 When I first started medical school, my first year, I was easily spending anywhere eight to 12 hours, including lectures studying every single day. By the end of my second year of medical school, that number had gone down to about four and a half to five years. How? That's sometimes the best way to improve our efficiency and reduce our time on how we do anything. Simply asking the question, how would I do this differently if I had less time? So if you're looking at your study strategy right now, ask yourself what you would do if I cut your studying time by 20%. So if you're starting 30 hours, ask what it would look like if it was 24. What would you do if there's six less hours in a week that you didn't have available to you? Or do you start making more strategic decisions of saying that resource wasn't that helpful? And you start to become appropriately critical of everything you're doing, whether that's the study resources that you're using, the tactics that you are, the people that are interacting with, or helping you gain that information. You change all of it. That's exactly how I was able to cut my studying time in half in medical school and still do academically well.
