I prefer Per Se.

Pfft, Riperts resto has been ranked #1 for the past few years, Per Se is a measly #3

Back on topic, @W19 can you make some sort of plan for yourself in a planner or...on your phone with preset alarms, or something?

Or find a study partner like Billy Madison's.

OP, get off SDN and power through. Take frequent breaks, go for walks. Schedule something fun next weekend or post-exam to look forward to.

I usually get into a slump each year in the dead of winter because it's so cold and I don't want to do anything. But you have to. If this is more than just procrastination and you're actually burned out, seek some support. Put even more emphasis on breaks, time off, and fun things.

That being said, I've been sitting in a crowded Starbucks for an hour and I've gotten through approx 3 pages of Step up to medicine. So I feel ya. Do as I say and not as I do 😛

Also if you have a Mac, get the Self Control app if you find yourself wasting time on the interwebs.

My 1st year in medical school I had a classmate who did okay 1st semester, then failed 90% of his classes 2nd semester and was dismissed from the school.

I just pooped a little bit

Or Cold Turkey. You need some mad computer skills to get past it.

And that's perfectly normal!

But only a little bit is normal.
