Study Leave

Oh boy, it sure is challenging to keep myself motivated to study the proposed 13hours/day. Sometimes, silly thoughts across my mind comes, like, is it really worth it to study that many hours, haha. The answer is pretty obvious, it's totally worth it. I keep reaffirming myself that I have a long attention span, I can study for longer than 2 hours. The thing is, after 2 hours of endocrinology, breast surgery, nephrology, etc... I feel sleepy, then I start lying down in bed, trying to get some power nap, before doing that, I thought I'd check my email, then I get caught with catching up with friends and family who happened to be online at that moment... and the next thing I knew is that, it's past 2 hours already from my "power nap" break! My power nap break turned into my online session.

I have a made a few rules so that I don't get caught up in unnecessary activities like this such as:

1. Check my emails through my iPhone because the features on the phone is less, basically it will just open my mailbox. Why do I even bother to check my emails, right? The reason is that, I subscribe to Insight of the Day mails, so I look forward to the daily inspiring quotes. And the other reason is for the replies from my mom, she also inspires me with her kind motivating words. I always feel better after reading her emails.

2. No FACEBOOKING until 12pm! I read somewhere that do not surf the net too early during the day, the net will drain your morning energy, so you will waste too much time, hence leaving unfinished task at the end of the day.

3. Use the 5 minutes break between my 20 minutes block of studying to do quick housework instead of emailing/SMSing people. The reward is better... empty kitchen sink, clean carpet, well made bed, sparkling toilet, and folded laundry. I just do them bit by bit, it wont take 5 minutes actually. Before this, I used the time for replying emails, but I have discovered that it is actually a "trap".

There are more rules, but most of them are a bit personal!

Have a nice day everyone. We're going for a breakfast now. I am so hungry.
