Study Tip of the Week: Roadblocks We all run into them -- learn how to get around them! Welcome to our Weekly Study Tip post! This week is about dealing with pesky roadblocks, whether they're academic, social, emotional, or otherwise.

You can check out our weekly YouTube video on this topic here. We hope you find it helpful! 

1. Roadblocks will always happen! Your mindset is what helps you get around them. Try to put yourself in a growth mindset - don't let them get you down for too long. Look for solutions by asking for help.

2. When talking yourself through a solution, pretend you are talking to a friend. It's easy to be hard on yourself - it's much easier to be kind to another person. Imagine what you'd say to your best friend if they came to you with the same problem. Give yourself the same advice!

3. Tips for getting around some common roadblocks in college:

Checklists are your BEST FRIEND! Welcome to our Weekly Study Tip post! This week is about learning how to prioritize what's important so that you can get the most out of your semester.

You can check out our weekly YouTube video on this topic here and download our accompanying handout here. But here's some information below: 

1. What do I Prioritize?

It's hard to figure this out when you're suddenly the one making all the decisions in your life! List ten goals that you have for your life this semester. Personal, academic, relational, related to fitness or improvement in another area, etc.

Now...get rid of five. Choose the five most important ones, and decide that you will come back to the other five when they're more relevant.

2. Decision Fatigue

Making choices takes up more mental energy than you might think. We're faced with countless choices all day, and by the time we actually end up sitting down to study, sometimes we can be really exhausted from this. Make your life easier by putting together a schedule every week that lists all of your tasks -- when you're going to get them done and where. This will avoid stress in the moment and let you stick to your plan.

3. Use a Checklist

Checklists are an amazing motivational tool. Make a checklist every day with your list of tasks - not just for school, but personal things as well. Checking things off gives a great feeling of productivity and the list itself helps you stay on track. You can also use a color-coding system to indicate levels of priority from high to low - that's how you know what to do first!

4. Eat the Frog

Every day, start with one task that you really don't want to do. You will get it out of the way quickly, feel productive, and be motivated to keep working hard!

Exercises to Become a Strong Pre-Health Applicant

Being an effective healthcare provider takes more than a robust knowledge base and clinical skills. Health professions programs use the AAMC Core Competencies in the application process to ensure that the applicants that they select are more than just an impressive GPA.

A little bit guided reflection, a little bit goal-setting practice, this workshop is a must for anyone who aspires to become a healthcare provider. You'll leave with tools that you can use throughout your preparation for health professional school that you can revisit again and again.

In this workshop you'll exercise the following competencies:

Welcome to our Weekly Study Tip post! This week is about creating routines to build up your skills over time, showing real gains if you stick with them. This week we will be highlighting Microhabits as a technique to set you up for a productive workday, cultivate positive routines, and ultimately boost your performance in STEM courses. 

You can check out our weekly YouTube video on this topic here! But here's some information below: 

1. What are Microhabits? 


Microhabits are small changes that you make to your daily life in order to see large gains later. They are simple and easy to accomplish, but over time, like investing your money, the returns build up exponentially.

2. Why are Microhabits Effective?

Microhabits work due to spaced repetition. This is when we intentionally study in shorter bursts with time in between to allow the material to settle effectively into our working and then long-term memories. TL;DR: the more we sleep between studying, the better we remember things!

3. The Two-Minute/Two-Problem Rule

It's really easy to do anything for two minutes, so start with that. Do two minutes of your habit - maybe that's reviewing your Anki flashcards for BIOL, or answering reading guide questions. 

For problem-based courses like chemistry, math, or physics, do two problems. That's all! You'll often find that once you get started, it's easy to keep going, but just commit to two minutes a day.
