A note to self and a request for commentary or resources. via /r/selfimprovement

A note to self and a request for commentary or resources.

I'm pretty underwhelmed with my recent performance but, on the whole, reasonably satisfied with where I'm at in life. Some aspects of my life could use considerable improvement, some I'm fairly proud of. I'm mostly writing this as a benchmark for myself with the addition of a few requests from the community. Everyone's also of course welcome to comment whatever they please and maybe I can gain something additional and unexpected.

I'll reevaluate at the turn of the year. My goals through December are as follows:

Eat better. I'd like to gain 15 pounds, mostly muscle. This sounds more unachievable than it is, but I'll spare the details unless requested. To do this I need to meal prep biweekly, make dinner every night and ensure that I eat a small meal immediately upon waking. The rest I can do mostly without thought.

Read more. Each year I set myself the goal to read one book a week and virtually always exceed my goal. This year I decided to make that goal 1,000 pages every week and have, thus far, fallen well and truly short. 15,000 additional pages through the end of the year could be considered a victory for me. I'm taking two months off work in the near future and hope this is an easily obtainable goal.

Get back in the swing of working out. I'm a wannabe powerlifter. I was hoping to be having an honest conversation with myself about ramping up for this year or next year's national meet. Between multiple injuries and a lack of discipline, I'd be too embarrassed to even do a local meet right now. Diet is the key factor but the gym work needs to be improved once my diet is in check. I'd like my big 3 total to be within touching distance of my personal records at the turn of the year. To at least be able to qualify for nationals for my weight class next year would be a major victory at this point.

Start reading more massage therapy literature. I've stagnated in my career and I'm incredibly dissatisfied with myself in this realm. I need to make myself a better therapist in virtually every way. I need to brush up on my anatomy and physiology, start attending more workshops and become better grounded. More time, practice and intention need to be devoted to this area.

Be more organized. I'm usually reasonably clean and organized however, I'm currently writing this in my disheveled home. I'll clean thoroughly the moment I'm finished with this post. I'd like to get back into the habit of everything having a home and consistently living there. Mental organization seems to follow physical organization in my life.

Enroll in school. I'm almost finished with my associates, I've been going to school on and off since I graduated high school 6 years ago. I'm in a good place to get back to school full time. I'd like to get enrolled and have everything set up so tuition is entirely paid for, at least for the end of my associates. I'd like to double major and finish in 2020.

Get my massage practice (re)started. I don't think this will happen this year with my planned vacation but I'd like to have all my ducks in a row and ready this year for when I have my finances in place to transition to self employment. I need to get my business applications, relevant licenses, website and various softwares sorted and ready by year end.

My vacation has everything to do with relationships. I'm going to head back to the area I grew up in for a (somewhat) extended period. Several of my best friends and most of my family life in the area and I'd like to do some nice things for them and spend some quality time.

Max my Roth and save some money. I keep my pennies in a vice grip, this is just about income. On course so far, just have to stay the course.

That's what I want to work on through the year. Things I'd love to get from the community here are:

Food prep recipes and general commentary. Help me spice it up and stop viewing it as a chore, I've gotten a bit bored with my own cooking and methods. Cooking for others again will help but still.

Business resources. Anybody with relevant experience that wants to comment, feel very welcome. Remind me of things you think I might be forgetting to do in getting my practice started up again.

Book recommendations are always welcome. Primary interests are economics and philosophy. Favorite fiction authors are probably murakami, dostoevsky and vonnegut to give you an idea but I've read most of their books. Different authors in a similar vein would be appreciated. I also love virtually any decent fantasy.

Things you think I'm missing. Any advice or commentary is welcome, there's obviously more to my life than just what's listed but, nonetheless, I'd love to hear your thoughts and priorities.

Feel free to share your personal goals. We can hold each other accountable or not. Either way. I just like to reevaluate and recommit from time to time that way I either find the discipline to move forward or mock myself until I do.

Edit: Also scholarship and programming resources are very welcome. They're readily available enough that I didn't think to ask but maybe you have resources or a thought that can make the process easier for me.

Pre Med Resources

So you are a pre med, and you want to know everything about everything pre med related. Don’t worry, we get you. Pre meds are infamous over-achievers, and I am too. In my time, I have come across a lot of great pre med resources for many different purposes. I will give you different pre med resources for the different purposes you may need over your time as a student.

There are many great pre med resources for notes.

Notes:

Let’s be honest, we always

Khan Academy:

I could never say enough good things about Khan Academy. While some people find it too slow and too in depth for their classes, Khan Academy got me through Organic Chemistry when my professor came up short. Without a doubt, the first place to go for notes on anything is Khan Academy. They have lessons on large and small scale topics, including text notes and videos. They have different speakers on different videos, but they all seem to have great content knowledge of the subjects.

Master Organic Chemistry:

This is my favorite website when I was looking for an explanation about a topic in Organic Chemistry that I didn’t understand. They have incredibly detailed posts on a wide variety of topics that you’ll learn about in O Chem. If you aren’t a big fan of KA, Master Organic Chemistry is a great backup for that class.

Crash Course on Youtube:

Crash Course is an awesome resource for many of your classes. They have videos for classes like general biology, general chemistry, anatomy and physiology, psychology, and even philosophy. If you just can’t seem to understand a really complex topic, Crash Course generally breaks it down to bite size pieces of information. This is where I got a vast majority of my background biology knowledge.

Quizlet:

I am sure you have come across Quizlet while you were studying for class tests, or while taking an online quiz and googling the questions (don’t worry, we won’t tell on you). The reason Quizlet is so useful for these quizzes is because much of the vocabulary words on Quizlet come straight from the book, where a majority of professors take questions from. For this reason, studying with Quizlet can be a great idea, especially if your class is taught straight from the book.

There are many pre med communities with people ready to help.

Pre Med Communities:

It can always be helpful to be involved with an online community of people with similar interests to you. This is no different for those in high stress environments, like being pre med. Whether you need to ask questions, or enjoy reading about people in similar situations as you, you should be able to find something for your needs out of the pre med resources below.

Student Doctor Network:

An online forum that connects pre med students, med students, residents, and physicians, Student Doctor Network is an place with a lot of informative people. Before you ask a question on SDN, make sure it isn’t one with an obvious answer, because the users on SDN don’t generally enjoy answering questions that could have been answered with one Google search. While they can be slightly uptight, the SDNers most certainly know their stuff. A great amount of information can be attained from just scrolling through the SDN forums.

r/premed on reddit:

If you are looking for a more laid back place than SDN, r/premed is definitely your place to go. While you likely won’t receive as much advice from med students and doctors, r/premed is a much more chill community of pre meds. r/premed is one of my favorite reddit subscriptions, because they often post memes and funny satirical posts. While there are many memes, you will also find some great advice on r/premed. They are there to answer any question you may have, and to make you laugh when you need it most. There are also threads that let you find out your chances of getting into medical school, and help with your personal statements. Overall, r/premed is a pre med resource that should be in every pre med student’s life.

r/MCAT on reddit:

Another popular subreddit amongst those in the pre med community, r/MCAT is great for any questions you may have about the MCAT. The MCAT is by far the most important thing you will come upon in your pre med journey, so knowing the proper study methods, materials, and tricks to maximize your score are crucial. You can also find study buddies through r/MCAT.

There are many pre med resources to help along the way, including HonorableMed.com!

Help With The Pre Med Process

While r/premed and SDN are good for specific things, there is likely a lot more information that you will want along the way. We try our best to help you out along the way, but there are definitely some other pre med resources out there that I can share with you.

Andrea Tooley’s Blog:

Andrea Tooley is an opthamology resident at the freaking Mayo clinic. She also happens to run a very informative blog for both pre med and current medical students. Needless to say, she was one of my inspirations to begin HonorableMed.com! She also has a great YouTube channel, on which she interviews many different doctors in different specialties, and offers advice on studying and other relevant pre med topics.

Jane and Jady, and Other Pre Med Youtubers:

Jane and Jady are a couple that are medical students. They are two amongst a huge crowd of pre med YouTubers. It is crazy that these people have enough time to study and make videos to put out on YouTube. If you need some information about anything mainstream along the pre med journey, you could probably find it by searching it on YouTube. I have not gotten around to making a real YouTube channel for HonorableMed yet, but I will likely have one up by Summer 2018, so stay tuned for that!

HonorableMed.com:

What kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t throw in a bit of self promotion? I am planning on posting note guides to Honorable Med, as well as many more relevant pre med posts (like this one). If you haven’t already, always feel free to leave a comment or a question in the comments. I am here to help!

Thank you for reading this post! If you found it helpful, please do bookmark it or at least follow me on Twitter to see tweets of my future posts!
