What do you guys do when you have an overwhelming feeling? How do you get yourself together and organize your thoughts? Any advice would be appreciated.

Exercise

Step 1) Go on Reddit for 3 hours
Step 2) Realize you just spent a ton of time doing nothing
Step 3) Get more stressed
Step 4) Do two problems to get started up again
Step 5) Take a 10 minute Reddit break because you are proud of yourself.
Step 6) Repeat Steps 1-5.

Honestly though, I just reassure myself that my plan will prepare me. Any of the above choices work though... Exercise, naps, snack break, video games... just make sure you set a time limit and are disciplined enough to stick to it (I'm pretty disciplined myself, but I'll occasionally take a 30 minute break instead of a 10 minute break and I feel awful after... Stick to your schedule!).

When I get frustrated I just put on my earphones and go to treadmill and run without thinking about anything for like 30min or so.. Or think about your future? yourself on a white coat? Try to motivate yourself with happy thoughts and think about what you'll get after you go through this phase of your life.

Eat or play basketball/football with friends

The only thing to make you relax is knowing you are ready based on sample tests. Study until you get there then you can relax.

I gave my brain a break for 20 minutes-1 hour (away from electronics, books, etc), then I watched some motivation videos and got back in the grind. Rinse and repeat


and of course, the best motivator of all

I am studying for my DAT now. I am on my 5th week and I am feeling completely overwhelmed by the amount of materials I have to get through before my exam in June. I feel like I forgotten everything I learned in the previous weeks. Do you guys feel like that too?

I know exactly how you are feeling. I am taking my DAT soon too. Make sure you are reviewing the material the next day that you studied the previous day. Study multiple subjects in a day instead of focusing on one.

That is exactly how I felt when I studied for my DAT. I was like, "didn't I study this 2 days ago, how can I forget?" But you know what, keep focused stay focused
