Day 73/100 [01/27/2025]

Kinetic Anatomy -> I was honestly trying not fall asleep. I couldn't even remember the joints in the body lol

OChem -> same thing! I love chemistry but it's so easy to zone out

Biomechanics (class & lab) -> wasn't too bad today. The professor wants a lot of class interaction, so when nobody answers, we sit there for a while :,)

Went to work -> thought about quitting already! I don't like my coworkers (2pm - 6:30pm)

Even when you're tired, remember why you started.

eat the frog (time management)

"eat the frog" is a popular time management technique that comes from a quote attributed to mark twain: "eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." in the context of productivity, the "frog" represents your most challenging or important task of the day—the one you're most likely to procrastinate on.

how to implement the "eat the frog" technique:

identify your frog: at the start of each day, determine the most crucial task you need to accomplish. this should be something that has a significant impact on your goals but may not be the most enjoyable or easy task.

tackle it first: instead of putting it off, focus on completing this task before anything else. by tackling it first, you can get it out of the way and prevent procrastination.

break it down: if the task seems overwhelming, break it into smaller, manageable steps. this makes it less daunting and allows you to make steady progress.

avoid distractions: minimize distractions while you're working on your "frog." turn off notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and create a focused work environment.

reward yourself: once you've completed the task, reward yourself with a break or something enjoyable. this positive reinforcement can help build a habit of tackling challenging tasks first.

why it's effective:

reduces procrastination: by tackling the hardest task first, you eliminate the temptation to procrastinate and delay important work.

boosts productivity: completing a significant task early in the day can give you a sense of accomplishment and momentum to tackle the rest of your to-do list.

improves focus: knowing that you have to address the most important task first can sharpen your focus and attention.

stress reduction: getting the most daunting task out of the way can reduce stress and mental burden, making the rest of the day feel more manageable.

remember, the key is to prioritize your most important tasks and tackle them head-on. if you have any specific tasks in mind or need help with prioritizing, feel free to share!

i hope this post is helpful! ❤️nene

You're not always going to be motivated. So you must learn to be disciplined.

it seems I only post at the end of each block but I KILLED my endocrine/reproduction final and I’m still really excited about it :)

we started psychiatry this week, and I’m freaking out a bit because it’s my last block of pre-clinicals. It’s so difficult to believe I’ve made it this far!

Finally settling into a good routine where I'm both happy and productive haha
