A third year medical student shares how he was able to fit over 200 hours of extra study time into his routine!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medical school is one of the most challenging and time-consuming training programs there is: with each approaching final, Step, or shelf exam, there is even more pressure to spend more time learning and reviewing medical content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not always possible to fit more studying time into an already-packed schedule. One approach to learning efficiently is to&nbsp;<strong>multitask<\/strong>. This includes making small adjustments to your daily routine, and studying while doing things like cleaning, cooking, mowing the lawn, commuting to classes and clinicals, and exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Starting_with_the_obvious_Flashcards\"><\/span>Starting with the obvious: Flashcards!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to fit in a handful of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/flashcards\">flashcards<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/qbank\">questions<\/a>&nbsp;while waiting in line or carpooling; just save cards\/questions to your queue on the site and then download them on the Osmosis&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/ca\/app\/osmosis-mobile\/id646540641\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iOS<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.osmosis.med&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android<\/a>&nbsp;app before heading out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audio\"><\/span>Audio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At times when you don\u2019t have your hands free or can\u2019t look at a screen you can still fit in some studying with audio resources. Osmosis videos are an efficient way to review medical concepts covered in class, but there isn\u2019t always enough time to sit down and watch every video from start to finish, even at 1.5x speed (and beyond). The narration on these videos is complete enough that you can get most, if not all of the concepts out of each video just by listening to them while doing something else. You might not catch every sentence, but retaining even 50% of the video is better than not watching one at all. With the Osmosis app, it is now possible to also download videos ahead of time into a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2019\/11\/19\/november-2019-product-update-leverage-the-power-of-custom-playlists-on-osmosis\">Custom Playlist<\/a>&nbsp;and listen to them like a podcast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/usmle-step-1-ultimate-guide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_8189ca.png?w=700\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_8189ca.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_8189ca.png?resize=300,107 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video\"><\/span>Video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way to watch more videos while multitasking is to do what I call&nbsp;<strong>studymilling<\/strong>. Take your laptop or phone to the gym and set it up on a treadmill, stationary bike, or weight bench and watch some videos while running or lifting. Videos are ideal for this compared to reading since the text is usually large enough that you can still read it even without staying still, though you might be able to get away with reading the high-yield Osmosis concept notes on a stationary bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Takeaways\"><\/span>Takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using so-called \u201cdowntime\u201d to study can add quite a bit of extra study time to your schedule; over the past year, I&nbsp;<strong>gained an extra 273 hours* of study time<\/strong>&nbsp;this way. Broken down, that\u2019s 119 hours exercising, 77 hours carpooling, and 76 hours while cleaning and cooking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A word of caution:<\/strong>&nbsp;there comes a point where it is not possible to add any more study time, not just in terms of hard numbers, but also from a wellness standpoint. Time spent cooking, cleaning, and commuting is often valuable social time with family, roommates, and friends; listening to videos and podcasts over them isn\u2019t always appropriate. Many people see exercise as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2019\/10\/31\/mindfulness-in-medicine\">mindfulness practice<\/a>&nbsp;and a way to take a break from studying; studymilling\/lifting would almost defeat that purpose. I\u2019ll admit that I spent far more time listening to non-\u201chigh-yield\u201d podcasts about medicine or even non-medical content than I did study-listening (437 hours last year) simply because I needed to hear something funny or inspiring as a break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, there will be times when you do need to prioritize studying, such as the weeks before a final or during dedicated Step prep. See this as a tool you can use more or less throughout your medical training and beyond. Make sure to use down time or free time as best you can, whether that be for studying or recharging for the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Abe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Abe is a 3rd&nbsp;year medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford campus.
