In undergrad I had the worst work ethic. I pretty much studied ONLY 2 days before the exam and never went to class. Now that I'm in med school I'm spending about 3-5 solid hours a day on school stuff (with distractions it adds up to 5-7 hours a day). I feel like that's the maximum I can possibly do. Any more and I lose focus and feel miserable forcing myself to study more.
It's not a huge problem because with the current amount of time I'm spending I can pass classes by a comfortable margin, but I'm constantly feeling like I don't know enough. There's so much info out there that I just don't have time to learn and I want to learn it but the stuff I'm forced to spend my time on is basic science that bores the **** out of me.
Do I just need more willpower to study for longer each day? Does anyone else have trouble spending more than 3-5 hours each day studying?
