]]> episodic no Joseph HQ minimalmedblog@gmail.com no full 4 | Post-Boards (STEP1) Thoughts 4 | Post-Boards (STEP1) Thoughts 4 Joseph HQ Boards really taught me about focusing on my own happiness throughout the process of becoming a physician. There's always going to be something next even after STEP1 like STEP2, rotations, or residency applications. If you make this more about enjoyment rather than suffering you are going to not burn out and have a sustainable career.

In this podcast, I also give some tips on the value of practice questions versus Anki.

General Advice:

  1. Focus on your happiness and do not make studying about suffering.
  2. Do high-value studying and cut out anything that is not significantly helping you improve.
  3. Know yourself and your study style. Ignore the noise about what others are doing.
  4. Avoid social media "infinity pools" (endless scrolling feeds) that suck your time and concentration away.

Books:

Effortless by Greg Mckeown

Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport

Grit by Angela Duckworth

The Motivation Myth by Jeff Haden

I realize I want to have balance in my life and future career. My best advice for board studying is to focus on yourself, your own progress, and happiness.


The idea of setting pomodoro timers for everything and increasing efficiency to the point where you are trying to study/work even while you eat and drive is not appealing to me. I want to enjoy my studies and work hard, but not over work.
