You feel like you are burnt out or that you are on the verge of burning out, but in reality you are on the verge of deciding whether or not you will burn out. It's scary to acknowledge that it's a decision because it puts the onus on you to do something about it, but it's empowering because it means there is something you can do about it.

Burned Out?

Resolutions
22 resolutions now that I'm 22.
- Stop doing multiple tasks at one time. Rather, focus first on one task, then shift to another one when the former is accomplished. (For example, I have my Epidemiology readings, my Histopathology slides, and Facebook open while I'm doing this blog post. It's not multi-tasking anymore; it's counterproductivity :|)
- Listen in class and take down notes as much as I can.
- Write more and take more photos.
- Exercise at least twice a week. I should try to play badminton again if I plan on joining the varsity team next year.
- Study everyday and not just panic study on weekends.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables; consume less coffee, milk tea (huhu) and energy drinks.
- Choose to drink water always.
- Watch the news and read the newspaper more.
- Study at the library every Saturday.
- Attend mass every Sunday. It's best to go early in the morning so that I could start studying right after.
- Try to fill up Boinky the Piggy Bank as much as I can.
- Organize your life always. Since making lists and outlines work for me, then I should put extra effort to make them.
- No more procrastinating. Text and go online less.
- Keep things simple. Be practical.
- Learn to say no.
- Read at least 5 non-med books this year.
- Know your priorities and stick with them.
- Do something good and fun everyday and write about it.
- Do something different every month. There's no growth in the familiar and the usual.
- Keep it real.
- Family first.
- Pray.
