It’s awesome to hear someone else directly point out that sleep and nutrition are absolutely vital to our productivity.
Dr. Hallowell, who is a top ADD psychiatrist, (on Oprah 5 times), and wrote an awesome book called, Crazy Busy, (check it out if you haven’t already, Jansen- you’d totally appreciate it). He gives an acronym to help us remember all the important personal elements of a productive experience. It is: EYES, with E for exercise, Y for yoga/mediation, E for eat and S for sleep… Keeping up with each of these “departments” will set us up for success!

I ditched my laptop in class, started reviewing my notes weekly and second semester 2L my GPA jumped way up. Wish I hadn’t wasted my time reading all the other stuff about briefing and test taking 1L.

these can apply to all students, actually! i dont know how much you keep up with my tweets but lately ive been whining left and right about poor grades on tests, feeling stressed with reading, etc. but i waste SO MUCH TIME. so i know its my fault. gotta make a change, make a change! and yeah. the laptop thing is KILLER. i often find myself sitting around “studying” at the library…on oh no they didn’t. or watching soccer matches…or reading http://www.dennis-jansen.com!
