      Top 3 things that destroy our attention span:
      1.cringe and brainrot
      2: Short form content , like any
      3:Video games, only some tho...
      Like Im so bad i cant even bear watching a 20 min anime episode.

    Tip 4 seems like a great way for me to retain focus. I listen to music on a daily basis, so choosing music that aligns with what I'm doing, so I'm able to satisfy my craving for music, while being still on track with my current task/work. Thanks!

    As someone who was only struggling to focus in a particular subject's exam preparation, this was pretty helpful. Also about your recommendation for being emotionally invested into the subjects, my last exam was physics, and as someone who is already a physics enthusiast, i love listening to not only Oppenheimer soundtrack, but also highly recommend the interstellar soundtrack, time from inception, some ambient playlists auto generated by spotify, and specially moonlight sonata by beethoven along with other similar classical pieces. In fact the night before exam i was listening to moonlight sonata on repeat

However, I am unsure about the direction I should take to be accepted into Harvard's MD program. Could you please advise me on the steps I should follow? Specifically, I would like to know which clubs I should join, what courses I should focus on, and any other activities or preparations and research projects I should undertake to enhance my chances of acceptance.
