What do you complain about the most?
I always find myself complaining about not having enough time. As a medical student, my days are packed with classes, long study sessions, and managing my side hustle—blogging. On top of that, I’m a young woman who loves going out with friends, keeping up with social media trends, hitting the gym, nurturing my faith, and maintaining a healthy diet—all within just 24 hours. It feels overwhelming.
I used to believe I didn’t have enough time—until I realized how carelessly I was spending it. I was losing three hours a day scrolling through Instagram and TikTok, constantly rushing to meet deadlines, and oversleeping more than I should. Even getting a full 7-8 hours made me feel guilty, and on days when I slept for 12 hours, I was absolutely frustrated with myself. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who’s been there.
That was the case until I learned a few tricks. I highly recommend using Screen Zen on your phone—it helps limit screen time and blocks distracting sites, making it a total game-changer for productivity.
Another thing that has helped me tremendously is surrounding myself with like-minded, goal-oriented friends. My friend will literally call me if she notices I’m oversleeping, and I’ll remind her of upcoming deadlines. It’s all about keeping each other accountable!
