West Indies' simple time management suggestion. Too good to be true?

'One system of time management that you might consider is based on splitting each week of the semester into 21 sessions - mornings, afternoons and evenings. Of these 21 sessions, not more than 8 or 9 are usually occupied by timetabled activities, leaving you with 12 other potential slots. It is strongly suggested that you devote 6 of these to self-study, leaving the other 6 open to fit in time for scheduled recreation and other activities. Each session is about 3 or 4 hours long, and can be split into shorter periods for studying as suggested previously.'

Main Question: Do you know anyone who hypothetically has 6 slots of 3-4 hours of non-educational activities in med school and still does well? Sounds like a dream!

While cbrons is right, I've said it before and I'll say it here: everyone has 20 extra hours a week in medical school.

Few people are honest with themselves about how they spend (waste) them.

The hard chargers are putting most/all of that in to research, etc.

Most are just watching TV or redditing, or hanging out with an SO.

A few are strong enough to go out 3+ nights a week and still keep up with classes.

What we do with them... that's a bell curve, but we've all got the hours.

Your bad attitude bothers me, but thanks for the response.
