Four great studying links
Here are four interesting sites I have been reading in the last week. I read these with my “studying” hat on.
- Productivity 101 has a great post about tracking habits. Basically, tracking habits is about changing who you are one step at a time. There is a discussion about different techniques, and some free software you can use (link in the comments).
- Take a look at 100 Unbelievably Useful Reference Sites You’ve Never Heard Of. It includes wikis, serious health sites, dictionaries, alternative search engines and encyclopedias, and even ‘Who’s alive and who’s dead?’
- Studyhacks shares a technique for studying without using written notes. I attend more informal lectures, and never take notes. I found the advice a nice springboard for my own thinking.
- Again on studyhacks is this discussion about life priorities. Basically, the idea is to figure out what you want out of life, then what you have to do to achieve that. Medicine is all about the sequence, and you can get caught up in taking one step after another, without thinking too hard about where you are going. They say it better than me.
