In this video, I'll take you through 10 ways to start studying better with the Pomodoro Method.

Who am I:

My name is Zach. I’m a third-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. 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 🌐 (https://zhighley.com/​​).

I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (https://zhighley.com/newsletter/​​) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Join the 2,700+ that read it every Sunday morning.
