Unmotivated

You’ve got every right to feel unmotivated. Getting ready for boards isn’t very rewarding. In fact sometimes it can be just plain boring. If you are bored with reading the same book everyday try doing something different- listen to an audio CD or watch a video on anatomy etc. Find different ways of getting information into your head.

A good way to motivate yourself is to think about why you’re doing all this. This is part of the process of becoming a doctor. One day you will help so many people or you will make a lot of money or you will ______________(fill in the blank). Always remember why you are doing this and you will keep yourself motivated to work hard everyday!
