Hi Guys,
I think motivation is an important thing for us students, since we have to go through very hard times. Sometimes I just feel those long hours of sitting in a table, reading a book, learning new materials can be very harsh . What I like to do is to go read some stuff from those people who are changing the world, and are visionaries, which Make me feel with a surge of energy and keeps me going. So how about other things we as medical students can do to motivate ourselves.?

Ya, I think study partners are critical.
Also, if you have a schedule made, think about switching things every hour so you have a variety. For example, start with 1 block of uworld, then move on to FA for an hour, then switch to watching video such as microbiology on usmle-simple or dit or pathoma, go back to doing another block or two of uworld, go back to first aid, etc. I think keeping variety will get you through the day.
