0:02 and in this video I'll be telling you how you can study more consistently so that you don't lose motivation Midway and give up immediately resulting you going back in the competition I'm currently targeting neat PG 2024 and these are some of the things which I'm applying to my life as I speak and these are very practical tips that you can apply anytime during your preparation and it doesn't matter what exam you're preparing for boards or Neato need pgo in ICT or whatever these tips will be definitely helpful to you over the last five and a half years as an Mbps student I've secured numerous distinctions as well as gold medals and also secured first price in so many different quizzes all because I was able to study consistently no matter what at the same time I also had a lot of distractions and a lot of different things to do such as attend postings make videos for you guys grow a business but I did all of that along with study and in this video I'll be breaking down into 10 practical
0:47 tips how you can do the same and nothing is stopping you I'm telling you this video will help you quite a lot so Step One is writing down your goal on a piece of paper and sticking it on a place where you're going to be visualizing it every day right here on the salmon I have got a neat feature 2024 I've got my desired all India rank written I have written down Dr Rules by chill because that is what I wanted to be and this has been here since finally mbbs right so whenever I wake up right on my bed over here the first thing that I see is this the first thing that I'm reminded of is what is my purpose and override over here my purpose is to study for neat PG my purpose is to get a good Rank and my purpose is to achieve that goal which I've written it out unless suddenly you don't remind yourself what your actual goal is your day will not have a direction your day will just go randomly if you have a reminder every day you
1:33 will see and you will work towards that goal it's very very strong I I tell you write it down and it will work wonders for you I did the same thing for Nate usually as well and that is how I keep myself motivated right from the start of the morning so if you haven't done it right now just take a piece of paper okay write down whatever your desired rank is desired exam is desired subject is Goldman distinction job we have whatever it is just write write it down and stick it somewhere and see it I've written visual realize that this is what you are going to be doing one day next thing is that make a list of all the different subjects which are there in that particular exam so let me just talk a little bit specific about neat period we've got 19 subjects and so I made a list of those 19 subjects in the priority that I want to finish them so I've got medicine surgery of Pediatrics
2:18 Anatomy farmac radio all of these are different priorities and I have to finish them what this helps me do is that it helps me visualize okay this is the exam and these are the small small steps that I want to take in order to complete this entire mission of neat Fury what I've also done is that even these subjects are segregated into subtopics which are extremely important for me to do so this way I have broken down this entire big exam that is let's say need PG into small Smalls for different achievable steps which I can take throughout the day for example completing a q Bank of microbiology or let's say revising parasitology or let's say doing APG analysis from medicine so these are all the small small steps that I have to perfect in order to get a good rank is what I imagine in fact this is exactly what I did for neat ug as well and I secured an ordinary of 885 in meteog in back in 2018 so these tips
3:04 apply to you guys as well if you need aspirants that's very very helpful by the way just a general reminder that if you are enjoying the videos which are making please make sure to hit the Subscribe button it genuinely means a lot and it will pay off for all the time effort energy that goes on to making even a single video trust me it takes a lot of time the next point is that find a good place that you can call a place to study if you don't have a good environment to study it's going to be difficult to stay consistent I am a firm believer that ergonomics is a very very useful thing in our lives ergonomics is like how the environment reacts with the person and how the person reacts with the environment so if both of them are complementary then you are in the most optimized state so in a way what you have to do is that find a good space where you can sit every day comfortably Services
3:49 where you can have your power set up as well key if you need to charge your iPad but you can stick notes onto the wall or where you can you know just store things uh for your convenience where you can easily go and grab your notes so just find a place like this if you don't have a place like this at your home because I understand that if you live in a home and there is a lot of chaos there there are TVs which can be running there is mixer it's not always possible to find this place at your home what you can do at that point is go to the library of your college okay let's say that you're a college student you can go to your library and study over there most of the times and most of the college libraries are top notch is so find your cubicle and claim that cubicle and you see cubicles I have known a lot of students and seniors from my college who did not really find that much Effectiveness in studying at home so they just studied
4:35 12-12 hours in the library and they got a very decent rank in their exams as well so find a good place to study if you don't even have a library if you don't even have a good place to study at home join a study room it's hardly like 500 600 rupees per month and if you have it if you're gonna go for a very extravagant one it can go up to like 1500 per month but if you are studying nicely I think those money that 30 rupees that you're spending per day is absolutely worth it because and it's okay you are paying for your own self so don't ever think yeah but it's not like that if you are investing in yourself it's always an investment it's not uh a spending it's an investment so that's how you have to imagine it the third practical tip was to find a good environment to study and make it your own claim it and just sit here every day talking about studying consistently if you are a need to AG
5:20 student who has appeared for counseling and decided okay if this is not for me I'm gonna take a drop and give a shot next year you can definitely consider sankalpara's Neutron Prime batch for you this batch will help you kick start your preparation for neat the initial phase will help you clear up the backlogs and it and later this batch will be merged with the neutron 2.0 batch and the classes will be held regularly along with this you will have exclusive test series weekly tests so many dpps video lectures notes and out sessions regularly and I'm pretty sure with this batch you'll be very very consistent amazing experience faculties like tarun sir andisa will be present but the best part is that this batch is extremely affordable at just Rupees to five nine five if you apply my discount code that is enough to get 25 off on Neutron Prime patch so go check it out using the link in the description so that brings me to my fourth tip and this is the most difficult tip over here is to just sit
6:06 down and start studying I know it is it's like very boring but that's actually the truth if you want to study the most difficult task is just sitting down like this that is the most difficult task literally other things are all easy you can find a place you can do the wall Target and you can do whatever you want but the moment you start studying actually is the real you know Victory so it can be very difficult to start studying initially because inertia is a thing and inertia does not allow you to you know leave the state of rest it wants you to stay at rest don't go into motion but you will realize that once you just sit for just five minutes okay just have an alarm clock five minutes better and you will see that inertia is completely broken down so what will happen you are inertia is broken now you have more chance to focus and you won't
6:52 really be afraid of studying anymore so if you're feeling like just tell yourself five minutes five minutes that inertia once it's broken you won't stop studying so I convinced myself okay just five minutes and I'll just sit down over here solve two question Max that's it and the moment I sit down I start solving question Max the motivation starts to kick in immediately and I realize that by the end like I have done like five seven question Banks plus I've also studied a few things I have written down a few notes and I'm like two hours more advanced into my journey so that what you can also do is a method called as the pogodoro method everybody knows about it just set up a timer the website that I recommend is bigtimer.net and you can set up that timer and sit down to study the next practical actionable step that you can take is have a calendar in your
7:38 room which will remind you what day it is and have you wasted that day or have you studied in that day in my room that's the calendar over there I can see it right now and I've also marked my internship schedule over there so currently I'm posted in radiotherapy uh and I can see what my schedule is and I can also see that have I wasted this day or however you is in January and I've got five or six months left in total to study for it and currently we are in August August September October November December and then we've got January so roughly five months we've got so this also helps with grasp a sense of this time bound thing and if it's time bound it's pretty urgent and you have much more motivation to study next Point very important is have a routine so this is very difficult if you are an intern like me because during heavy postings a routine is very
8:23 very difficult to find because you can be called anytime during the hospital it's nothing is defined basically an internship I have a huge video about internship coming up as well like the four months update about how it's going on and what's my current expectations and all that if you are interested let me know Down Below in the comments I did not have a routine like two months back because internship was taking every heavy toll on my life and I was not able to do anything but now what I figured out is that I actually have a good routine that is I wake up study at least one or two lectures in the morning itself go to the posting because now it's in just go out for a coffee or something come back and also study study study till you have your dinner after dinner also study and then just end the day
9:08 sometimes I also have recording session or podcast sessions so I have to take out extra time for that but apart from that this is sort of been the routine which I have had for the last two months and this has been extremely productive for me because I feel like if you divide your time okay morning map one and a half hour afternoon my two hours evening my two hours and Nightmare two three hours you're getting like seven or eight hours of study every day you're also doing your postings you're also getting enough sleep so this is the way I have divided it and it feels good to me so I think that you can apply the schedule if you have like a six hour coaching class or if you are having an internship of light posting which are going on like radiotherapy or TB or infectious disease or something like that but what I realized is that since I did not have a schedule in the first two months of internship it was really really hectic for me I don't think I even studied it
9:54 for like one hour every day during the heavy postings yeah because emergency duties night duties admission days 24 hours you see so many things how can one person study while you know having to do internship in heavy posting so thankfully those are ended and now the light has started so I can focus more but anyways my main point without getting distracted is have a schedule if you are need UT aspirant it is imperative that you have a schedule I know so many people who wake up at 12 in the morning okay and 12 in the afternoon I would say and then they just don't do anything for the rest of the day evening they go out and night they sleep so basically you are destroying your life in a way if you don't have a schedule you if I have a schedule have a routine this is the actionable step that I wanted to give next point is point number seven I think is give a lot of
10:39 tests give tests and analyze key what are your weak points if you don't give tests if you don't measure if you're doing uh your studies correctly or not there is no point because you can go on studying and studying and studying and studying and if you don't test yourself what is the point of that studying you will never know weak points where you have to put more attention where you have to put less attention so in a way as important as studying is I think giving tests and analyzing your mistakes is equally important so if you want to stay consistent to your studies what you have to do is give a lot of tests like every week if possible give a small test every day if you can solve a question Bank in which you can test your active memory that's also well good and adjust your plan according to whatever is going on currently with your test results so give a lot of tests they will help you
11:24 keep you motivated they will demotivate you sometimes but I think that demotivation is so much more doable bearable than the demotivation you'll get if you don't secure the your desired seat or desired rank in your desired college so it's okay to get demotivated after you see a bad test result but know that you have to trust the process and progress will happen if you study consistently the next point is taking breaks taking breaks should not be about scrolling Instagram or watching videos on YouTube taking breaks should be about giving a break to your mind from from continuously having to put effort to understand a subject and to understand your Concepts so you can just go sit down and meditate I'm a huge fan of meditating I do it all the time because it has become my mind down or if that is not possible for you you can just stay away from your phone okay stay away from technology because that's gonna egg
12:11 scroll will turn into one hour you won't even know it so stay away from technology I usually also play the guitar whenever I'm on a break let's say I studied for two three hours and then I feel like I play the guitar I talk to my parents I talk to my friends on call and that's it that's it for five minutes okay and then I continue to study so this is also what you can apply to your life take breaks which are productive don't take breaks which are devastating for you take tricks which will help you relax don't take breaks which will help you actively drain your energy like watching reels or watching shots or whatever so yes the next point is have fun with whatever you're doing uh I always used to feel during my net usually days a sort of pressure okay do or die so I never really enjoyed the process of studying as much as I am doing currently because I feel very happy to tell you that
12:56 whenever I'm studying I feel like uh this will help me in treating my patients and that's the best feeling that you can have that whatever you're studying will be actually helpful in real life so study will be very very efficient if you are having fun with it if you're not having fun with it you won't have the feeling to get up and study so some subjects obviously can be boring but you have to have fun with it in your own way for example microbiology is pretty boring we all know that right you can use sketchy micro if you feel like it you can use sketchy pharmac or you can use pathoma for pathology so resources which make studies a little bit more fun you can use stat GPT to ask you questions from micro and that will make it more fun and that is also one similar thing which if you feel like it's boring you can go to like bio digital movement or some other Anatomy sites you can just watch the few dissection videos over there maybe you'll find your spark once again and lastly the most important tip number 11
