Here are five things I wish I knew before starting medical school. Number one is know how to maximize your studying. You have a lot to learn and not a lot of time to learn it. If you want to succeed in medical school and have balance in your life, start by optimizing your study techniques. Number two is practice self-discipline. Create a schedule that works well for you and stick to it. Life becomes much easier once you do.

Number three is prioritize your free time. Figure out two or three activities that bring you joy and make time for them regularly.

Number four is don’t neglect self-care. You can’t expect to take care of patients without first taking care of yourself. Remember to have fun with the people around you and reach out for help if you’re ever in a bad place.

Number five is be intentional with your time. If you set aside two hours to study, be sure to focus and study. If you allocate time for yourself and the things that you enjoy, be fully present and enjoy yourself. There’s no point in trying to combine work and play. You end up not getting much done and not feeling refreshed in the end.
