Adverbs of degree

Looking back to graduating high school over 10 years ago, I barely even recognize myself.

Adverbs of manner

Even looking back to when I graduated college or more recently, medical school, I've changed

so much that I feel like a completely different person.

In this video, we'll cover some of the strategies and insights I've learned in being an effective

What's going on guys, Dr. Jubbal, MedSchoolInsiders.com.

These tips will start from foundational principles and build in specificity from there.

There isn't a magical age at which everything makes sense, or when it all clicks and you've

After becoming a doctor, I have become more acutely aware, not less, of how much I do

I was disappointed when I learned this as well.

When I was 18, I would look at those 10-15 years older than me and think “wow, life

is going to be so much different when I'm their age.”

And now that I'm one of those people, I can say many things have in fact changed – my

personality, my fears, my strengths, my weaknesses, my maturity — that last one is actually

debatable — but many things have remained the same.

At the end of the day, we're all just improvising and figuring life out as we go along, so don't

You'll grow more comfortable with the uncertainty and more confident in navigating it, but the

That being said, there are certain skills and mindsets that will make the transition

This first skill is a meta-skill of sorts, meaning it will help you pick up other skills.

If there is one thing I hope you take away from this YouTube channel and our website,

And while I've covered all the best and scientifically proven methods of learning

more effectively, including the study tricks and strategies that saved me in medical school,

You must also learn to think for yourself and question your own assumptions.

They say you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

I say you're the average of all your inputs.

Choose wisely the people you spend time with, but also the books you read, the TV shows

you watch, and the news articles and political slants you expose yourself to.

It's natural to associate yourself with people and ideas that you agree with.

But this is a dangerous path, and will foster close-mindedness, intolerance, and stunt your

Practicing open-mindedness means not becoming emotionally reactive when someone has a differing

It means reading broadly, and expanding your perspective beyond your current comfort zone.

Don't just expose yourself to what you know and agree with.

On one hand, it's a discouraging truth, as there's so much more I wish I could do

On the other hand, that's incredibly inspiring, as every human who has ever lived and done

great things had the same 24 hours that you do.

That doesn't mean to work as hard as you can in those 24 hours.

That's not a good idea, which I learned the hard way.

People often use this phrase to justify not working too hard, but it cuts both ways.

As a marathon, you don't want to burn yourself out by working too hard and ignoring healthy

But as a marathon, you also must put in consistent and calculated effort, as being lazy or undisciplined

There are a few videos on the channel and blog posts on the website that cover every

skill you need in order to manage your time better than even a CEO.

In the grand scheme of things, don't forget to prioritize sleep, exercise, proper nutrition,

Each of these elements in a balance is critical for long term success and sustainability.

Your systems are perfectly designed to produce the results they get.

If you don't like the results, then you have to tweak the systems.

Or as James Clear says, you don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level

No matter how hard you work to optimize your systems, there will always be ways to improve

Regularly reflect and alter your systems, which alters your habits, which ultimately

In your experimentation, familiarize yourself with tools to integrate into your system.

I've played around with task managers and landed on Things3 as my app of choice.

I've chosen Google Calendar which syncs to Apple Calendar on my devices, and I use

Evernote to organize most of the content and information in my life.

And I use HabitShare to track the progress of new habits I'm working to implement.

These may not be the best for you, and that's fine.

But don't be afraid to experiment and try out different systems to see what is best for

After years of experimentation, I now live by my calendar.

For most people, that level of structure is overkill.

But when I travel, I don't plan ahead and instead I let things unfold spontaneously.

My biggest and most transformational periods in my life came after enduring extreme challenges.

When you hit rock bottom, you can only go up, and there's something beautiful and

But we don't have to wait for fecal matter to hit the fan in order to experience growth

By simply walking toward your fears, rather than running away, you will open up a new

For me, public speaking was a significant obstacle.

I worked towards improving that, and while it was initially scary, it also bolstered my confidence,

My own growth was catapulted once I became more comfortable in my own skin.

It's easy to love your strengths, but learning to accept your weaknesses with compassion

I used to believe that because of Crohn's disease I needed to prove something, or that
