The quickest way to do a “second read” of the study material:
Do practice tests.
• Do it after your 1st read
• Study the answers you got wrong
• Then, go back & reread your study materials
You'll remember more in less time—and increase your chances of passing the exam.

my pedia heart uwuuuu 🥰
I just want to put it out there to the doctors in Gaza who are helping patients during this unimaginably difficult time, that you have my most profound respect. You are the epitome of selflessness and courage, and any one of us would be fortunate to have you as a colleague 🙏🫡
Motivation, 101:
Instead of relying on willpower to push yourself to study,
Try optimizing your environment
• Clean off your desk
• Turn off phone notifications
• Set a timer and study for a 4-hour block
This is always a better path forward.
When someone compliments you,
STOP IT WITH THE SELF DEPRACATING COMMENTS.
"Uy ang ganda mo!"
Instead of "ah ilaw lang yan" or "nag ayos lang ako~"
Say a heartfelt thank you and accept it wholeheartedly!!! 💙
