I’ve been so burned out and the questions keep piling up and I only get more anxious. I needed this video, cause I need someone to tell me it’s ok to cut down a little bit so I won’t burn out in the long time.
I've been burnt out for last year in my 4th year of med school and thought i'd just work through it. Im now trying to change it because if i dont, i will fail at medicine, and that is something i love too much to give up on
the method of periodization is legit..i surely am efficient on some days than other and the other days where I am not efficient, I just embrace it without feeling guilty
Thank you again, this video is exactly what I needed see. The past 2 weeks my productivity has been slowing down until its come to a complete halt the past few days. It feels kind of bad because I feel like I've wasted all that irreplaceable valuable time.. and now I have to re-build the previous momentum I had going from ground zero. I guess I'll try to structure my schedule for consistency and apply the tips you've given and hope for the best as well as accept that I may not be able to do everything I wanted to do in time for boards. Appreciate this vids as always, thanks
Thank you so much for giving practical advice re: splitting study into long days and shorter days. It has made a big difference to me already. So much more helpful than the usual advice to stop and take time off. When one is studying for a particular test that just isn't possible!
Thank you this made me realise I just over worked my mind so much so that I had to take like 2 days of complete sleep to reboot myself this video will definitely help me in planning my schedule now
Hi Santiago I hope you're doing well, I stumbled upon ur channel when I was searching about burnout, I have finals in like 15 days and I'm absolutely have no motivation what's so ever it's my final year...I'm so devastated and overwhelmed when I sit down to study my mind just think about the exam and how bad I will do because I remember nothing and because of how much I think about that I get the worst headache ever and I just can't focus, I feel so bad like all my hard work will be lost and I'm just watching it go downhill
I have five subjects to review today, one subject has 9 lessons to review for and the other 4 subjects have 3 or more, Their all due tomorrow and theres so little time, im trying my best to study everything but the clock is ticking and theres more to do, I dont know what to do, im always the gifted kid but I just dont wanna do anything anymore, I wish I could just escape all these responsibilities, but I dont wanna fail either
I have a very physical cleaning job, and put in 10,600 steps in 8 hours yesterday. My workload has significantly increased in the past 3 weeks, and now I am afraid that it is just going to continue to increase, and my anxiety has been a lot higher (and my OCD has gotten worse because of it). I feel depressed because I cab exactly quit my job without risking losing my finances. Since almost every business owner doesn't like to put enough staff on in a shift, I know that I probably won't get away from this problem, which just increases my anxiety and depression. I seriously felt like throwing in the towel yesterday saying to myself, "Screw this! I need to start working for myself and sell art!" But that doesn't mean that it will sell. And so here I am, looking for a becon of hope, while trying to fake being positive at work.
Your videos are really helpful to me. I am currently in a point now where I am not sure whether I am doing the right thing or not, but your videos reminds me that I am doing fine, I just need to be more realistic with my expectations, and stop giving myself work that I cannot accomplish in 4 hours.
thank you very much! I am watching this video for the second time after several month because I am having symptoms of burnout again, and it is reminding me what I am doing wrong.
You are such an inspiration man. You seem like such a genuine guy who's really out there to share his knowledge and help his fellow medical students. I watched all you videos today and took notes on them and will definitely give you a shout-out when I succeed.
For me, it's not having real days off. In fact the weekends before midterms and finals, I always seem to have military drill weekends, which are very stressful on their own.
Excelente videoo santiago!!!!!! De verdad lo que necesitaba para evitar el burnout, claro que son consejos que te los dicen otras personas, pero uno no les presta atencion porque ellos no quieren dar el step 1 y digo no me comprenden. Pero escucharlo de alguien que ya dio el step y salio como yo quiero vale mucho 👍 sigue con tus videos
Hello Santi. Thanks for all your good advices and counseling about step exams. I find it all useful. Do you have some video about how to keep the pace or stamina (energy) and to not feel so much drained during exam taking? Thanks in advance...
Hey brother Santiago. I'm confused. You said teaching is what made you score high in the usmle but in the interview you mentioned doing lots of questions was the secret. so which one is it? The Feyman technique or doing questions.
My study method was doing questions (and IMO is the the best use of your time regarding prep) I emphasized that in the PDFs attached in the google drive link of the video “What really got me to the 99th percentile”. Having said that, the point I tried to make was that a lot of people study in the exact same way I did but get different scores. Why that happens is partially explained by differences in IQ and Conscienciousness, but that leaves a 0,4-0,6 variance unaccounted for, which in my case I think is explained by the fact that I taught a lot in medschool and I learned by layers. In other words, the video tried to address what underlying factors make for a great score besides your study technique, that’s why I didn’t touch on any particular method during the video, it wasn’t the point. Though I tried to be explicit with my method via the PDFs
I periodized that too hah, during the easier parts of my prep I took a day off every couple of weeks / every week depending on how tired I was. In the toughest cycles (14+ hours a day) I took up to 3 days a week off
dude I'm so burnt out I didn't even watch I just skipped to the end
"You ARE NOT a machine!"
I almost cried when I heard this. So true!!!
THANK YOU!!
Listen a song "Iron Sky" by Paolo Nutini after 3:18 - you`ll hear these words, and it makes me cry also
I’ve been so burned out and the questions keep piling up and I only get more anxious. I needed this video, cause I need someone to tell me it’s ok to cut down a little bit so I won’t burn out in the long time.
You've got this Ana. Best of luck!
I've been burnt out for last year in my 4th year of med school and thought i'd just work through it. Im now trying to change it because if i dont, i will fail at medicine, and that is something i love too much to give up on
That feeling of burning out really sucks and usually difficult to deal with ...great video, thanks for sharing this, found it very helpful!
Where can I come and hug you?!!
You are just amazing!! Thanks for this!! Needed this so much ❤️
I literally thought the same thing
the method of periodization is legit..i surely am efficient on some days than other and the other days where I am not efficient, I just embrace it without feeling guilty
I did burn out during the first 3 months.. Untill I started reaching out to friends and exercising.
That combo never fails 💯
Boom ditto. I just bought a new sport bra lol
Not for me @@SantiagoAQ

Wow, it amazes me how you hit the hammer on the nail every time. It's not elaborate and fancy, just incredibly relatable without the bullshit
Thank you so much for giving practical advice re: splitting study into long days and shorter days. It has made a big difference to me already.
So much more helpful than the usual advice to stop and take time off. When one is studying for a particular test that just isn't possible!
High performers integrate exercise, good hygiene, and time off.
That was a good one
I am burned out even though i have a really big test ahead of me
I will try this steps and i hope they will work
Thanks 🙏
Thank you this made me realise I just over worked my mind so much so that I had to take like 2 days of complete sleep to reboot myself this video will definitely help me in planning my schedule now
Love the humor in between !
Keep inspiring Santiago!!!
I'll keep following your channel.
Currently going through this, thank you for this video, it gave me a couple of ideas
Thanks sir, as a student this is a lot. But again if these aren't applied these words are nothing.
thanks so much Santiago. This video is just what I need right now! Hopefully I’ll get to meet you one day and thank you in person ❤️☺️😘

WOW "Periodization". Thank you!! Did you take one day off/week? Or /2 weeks?
I periodized that too hah, during the easier parts of my prep I took a day off every couple of weeks / every week depending on how tired I was. In the toughest cycles (14+ hours a day) I took up to 3 days a week off
