Why do you need a strategy? Just tell them the truth.
FWIW, I had a job before med school and while I was tired when I got home, there's no comparison. It's not a matter of "how many hours you put in", it's a matter of what you do with those hours. The mind-numbing boredom and stress of memorizing thousands of pages' worth of info knowing you'll likely forget most of it and have to re-do it 10 times before you get it is very different from sitting in front of a computer among colleagues doing something that often doesnt require 100% silence and focus. Oh and you don't get paid, and don't get weekends off. Sorry dude, not the same thing.
When I was working, I used to look forward to weekends cause I got to see people, hang out, go to restaurants or bars or clubs or whatever. Nowadays that's only the weekends I'm not studying, and every cent I spend is 3 cents I'll have to pay back, and money doesn't renew itself at the end of the month so if I partied too much in September, come December I can't afford Christmas presents. It's just a different approach.
So I think you should just tell people the truth, straight up. Sorry, post-exams I need to be a zombie and even talking to friends is too much mental effort. Hell, I don't have the attention span for a whole movie after a test. People may not "get it", but they'll take it. It's certainly less patronizing than sending them your notes and being like "see what I have to do today??!" Don't insult their intelligence, just tell them what's going on.
