My normal note-taking strategy was taking too much time and I was falling behind. I needed to change my study strategy. What followed was an all-encompassing reworking of how I spent my time. The results? My grades went up and I studied less. How is that possible? In this video, I will show you how I take 0, notes in medical school now score better, and study less.

I’m a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on YouTube or my website 🌐 (). I write a weekly newsletter 💌 () linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week.
